Chapter five hundred and sixty-six coercion and temptation
Chapter 566: Coercion and temptation, appearance and separation
The Hexa Rope Alley in the southeast corner of the capital is not long, with Chongwenmenli Street on one end and Magpie Alley on the other end. Although it is not far from the Imperial City, there are armor factories and pastures not far away. Even if the Gongyuan is not far away, it will be lively during the Trip to the Ministry of Rites once every three years. Compared with those inferior people who have to go out to find a job regardless of the cold winter or the hot summer, the small courtyards of this street live with ordinary people who are happy and comfortable, and those who come and go are almost the same people.
There is a family like this in a two-in-yard in the middle of Masheng Hutong. The owner in his early forties can do both medical treatment. It is said that there are more than a dozen acres of fertile land in the suburbs. He hired a few senior workers to farm. Sometimes he went out to consult with the children and daughters, and took several apprentices. However, he lived a prosperous life. But throughout the year, he always went out to go out for medical treatment, and not only his family members, but also his neighbors were used to it. As soon as he came back that day, he sent some local products to his neighbors nearby, and many people came to thank him.
Seeing these guests away, the owner Bai Ying walked around the yard in Qiantou and checked the flowers and plants he planted. Seeing that they were growing well, he couldn't help but smile and stroke the beards that were neatly combed. At this time, someone tiptoed behind him and stood still without making a sound.
"Hu Zi, who is sneaky and twitching, does he have something to say?"
"Sir, what we did this time..." Yang Hu wanted to say something, and after a while, he coughed lightly, "If this is a killer, I will not frown at all one hundred people, but Wang Shouren is a famous scholar praised by everyone. This time, he wrote a letter to impeach the traitor and eunuch and was expelled. We almost lost his life..."
"You said it was almost done. Has anyone else died?" Bai Ying looked at the flowers in the flower pot intently and said without looking back. "Since you are investing in the Green Forest Road, you should know that good officials or corrupt officials have only one purpose for us who believe in Maitreya, that is, to kill them all. Since the Buddha Mother's uprising in the Yongle period, we have been in a long while since the rebellion of the Buddha Mother in the Yongle period? If the remaining trump card of our country was revealed, then the foundation in the north will be destroyed in a blink of an eye. Therefore, that one or two thousand silver may be very important to your village, but I still look down on it. I am afraid that the person will report to the officials if we fail to do things and attract the army of the court. That is my sin!"
"So sir is concerned about this!"
Yang Hu is a rough man, right or wrong, right or wrong. At this moment, I was extremely confused when I heard it. I suddenly realized it until the last sentence. I clenched my fists and said in a rough voice: "Since that's the case, when that guy came to give the final payment, I asked two people to be him! I dare to use the sir and our brothers, I can't spare him!"
"You are the virtue!" Bai Ying then turned around and said angrily and amusedly, "This is not a fight between you bandits and bandits. Just fight to the death. Since they can know that I am the Holy Lord and you are half of my disciple, can't they have any other backup plan? Besides, what's the use of killing a front pawn!"
Seeing that Yang Hu's face turned red, Bai Ying didn't say anything else, and walked into the room with his hands behind his back. Yang Hu didn't care at first, but when he heard the crackling sound, he was immediately surprised. When he looked at Bai Ying's feet, he saw several blue bricks cracking in response. Thinking of the brothers at the bottom of his head, he thought that Bai Ying was just a doctor with excellent medical skills. He couldn't help but shake his head.
He looked stronger and stronger than Bai Ying, but if he really wanted to fight, he was no match for the other three!
Although he was indifferent to Yang Hu just now, Bai Ying's anger was not less than Yang Hu's. He took over the position of the Holy Lord from his master, but the White Lotus Sect was in a slump after Yongrenxuan. Although the imperial court was in chaos after the Tumen Rebellion, no matter which emperor was in power, he spared no effort to suppress the White Lotus Sect. Even though the emperor was addicted to magic and ignored political affairs during the Chenghua period, he had always paid special attention to their missionary work, and after so many years, although the believers gathered a lot, they were far from becoming a climax.
However, now, I finally hope that the Shao Emperor will ascend the throne and the government will be in turmoil, but someone has seen through his movements. Even the foundation of Yang Hu, the direct line, is clearly understood! It is important to know that the White Lotus Sect has never been a solid piece of iron. It is lip service to him, the Holy Lord, and even there are many people eyeing him. If the news is leaked, let alone the court, perhaps other people in the sect will have a strange intention and will use a knife to kill people. Who would not do it? It must be noted that his wife and children are all in the capital, and they have never known that he is the most guarded and feared Saint Lord of the White Lotus Sect that the Ming court has always been the most cautious and fearful!
After writing several silences on the paper, Bai Ying could only calm down, but sat behind the desk and repeatedly pondered the origin of the scene. Because the victim ordered that the ship from Xing'an Bo Mansion would crash into this to save people, he couldn't help but think of the famous Pingbei Bo Xu Xun first, but because of this coincidence, he thought about it again and felt something was strange.
Looking at this method, it seems that it is intentional to make the Pingbei Bo and the Sili Supervisor Liu Jin make a fuss. Could it be that someone intends to fight against the snipe and the clam and the fisherman will benefit?
"Sir, sir!"
While Bai Ying was pondering, he suddenly heard a voice outside. When he looked up, Yang Hu rushed into the room in a panic. Seeing the man's face turned ashen, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "What, what happened?"
"Here!" Yang Hu took a deep breath, and then continued, "The person who gave the money is here. He doesn't look like the errand runner-runner in the past, but a scholar with a bit of style! Sir, should you use this to establish your authority?" He put his hand on his neck and made a clean gesture, showing a bit of hideousness on his face. "If not, it would be easier to negotiate the conditions if he detained the person!"
"Don't alert the snake, don't forget that this is the capital. If he had something to do with some high-ranking officials, do you think we can go out safely?" Bai Ying stood up and sternly ordered at Yang Hu, "You ask your brothers to come to the wing room and don't come out without my instructions! Remember, this is the capital, not your village!"
Although he was still a little dissatisfied, Yang Hu's life was saved by Bai Ying. It was Bai Ying's guidance to have the current scenery in the green forest. Naturally, he was not easy to disobey, so he immediately went out of the door silently. Bai Ying cleaned up his clothes again and then left the house. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw the middle-aged scholar standing in the middle of the yard curiously looking around, with a leisurely face standing behind him. An old servant, who was at least fifty or sixty, was holding a bulging bag in his hand.
"Is this husband..."
"Hello Mr. Bai." The middle-aged scholar bowed with a smile, and then said, "What I asked before was originally very abrupt, but I didn't expect Mr. Bai to do so well. It really helped me a lot. So, today I specially prepared a gift to come to my door to thank him personally, and asked Mr. Bai to forgive the rudeness of those who had visited the door before."
When he thought of the man who had previously harshly revealed his identity and arrogantly forced him and Yang Hu to do such a thing, and then to the middle-aged scholar who was full of smiles and politeness and warmth, Bai Ying saw his youngest son coming out to watch the fun in curiosity, and couldn't help but glance over in anger. When he saw someone, he immediately shrank his head and fled back to the inner courtyard. He said lightly: "It's not a pity. Since it's a business, it's naturally one who wants to fight and the other who wants to be beaten. The situation is stronger than the others, and I have nothing to say."
"If Mr. Bai said this, I would be ashamed." The middle-aged scholar smiled again, and then said meaningfully, "But Mr. Bai is planning to talk to me in the yard like this?"
"I was negligent, but the distinguished guest came from afar and knew me Bai Ying. But I didn't know the distinguished guest's name. There seemed to be no such treatment between the guests in the world, right?"
"If I want to, there will be one hundred names and names anytime and anywhere. Since Mr. Bai is so persistent, just call me Mr. Two."
"Since there are two gentlemen, is there a big gentleman behind the emperor?"
Mr. Second was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "It's Mr. Bai, and he really has a sharp eye. Mr. Second, there is no one in the shopkeeper. I can finally go into the house to speak, right?"
Bai Ying saw that this person was always smiling. He was intentionally angry, but he was still as if he was fine. He could only let the person into the house with a calm face. Seeing that the old servant accompanied the second gentleman into the house, when the second gentleman took his seat, the person was still standing next to the owner like a clay sculpture. He glanced at the depth and could not see through it. He simply withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "The matter has been done. Since Mr. Second, he has come, we will settle the remaining accounts and we will clear them."
"Hey, it's said that a business is not good and righteous. Now that we have done a business, why should Mr. Bai be so heartless?" Seeing Bai Ying's eyes froze, Mr. Er smiled and gestured to the old servant beside him. When he walked to Bai Ying with a bag, he raised his hand and said, "This is the 500 taels of silver that had been agreed upon before. In addition, because Mr. Bai did this time beautifully and without any trace, the other 500 taels of rice was from Mr. Xie Bai."
Bai Ying had been paying attention to the old servant before. Seeing that he was carrying something with one hand as if nothing had happened, his shoulders were as high as before. If it weren't for the fact that people said bluntly, it would be hard to believe that the heavy bag of things was more than 60 kilograms of silver. Even though he had already flashed the idea of Yang Hu leaving someone to question, he could only give up for the time being. But when he reached out to take it, he deliberately tried it. He suddenly grabbed the bag and sank the bag. The sudden force was more than a hundred kilograms. However, the old servant seemed to have not felt it at all. He did not tremble or tremble, but still held the bag steadily and bent down respectfully.
"Mr. Bai, please!"
Bai Ying felt as if he reached out to pull a huge rock of thousands of pounds. In a daze, he suddenly felt a little angry and added five more energy. At this time, the old servant opposite finally showed a bit of solemn expression, and his hand holding the bag was blocking one by one. Seeing Bai Ying picking his head and toes slightly and kicking forward, he paused again, and his feet suddenly collided, making a sound like a collision of gold and stone. Then the bag fell steadily into Bai Ying's hands.
"Sir, I am really good at it!"
"Hahahaha, wherever you are, you have some strength!" Seeing Bai Ying take the bag and untied the blue cloth bag in person, open the wooden box inside, and carefully examine the silver ingots in it, Mr. Second said with a smile, "Anyway, if you have something to do in the future, I'm afraid that Mr. Bai will be troubled by him. But Mr. Bai is worried that the money will only be more generous than this time, and you don't have to worry about us leaking any news. It is important to know that this matter is shameful, and the head of the family is not a short-sighted person. There is one thing I have to remind Mr. Bai that we are friends but not enemies, but now the foolish people in the capital are bewitched, and many of them believe in the Wuji Holy Ancestor mentioned by Mr. Luo. If this continues, it will inevitably be detrimental to the Holy Church."
Bai Ying was furious when he heard that the other party had this time, and he still planned to come to him again next time. However, when he heard the word "Head of the Family" and the other party mentioned Luo Qing, he took a deep breath and calmed his anger in his heart. Then he said lightly: "Mr. Er is worried. I have my own opinions on this matter. Come and see the guests!"
With this sound, Yang Hu rushed into the door. Seeing Bai Ying's eyes turned a little calm, even though he was anxious, he could only act in a slight manner with anger. He sent the master and servant outside. Seeing the second gentleman bent over and got into the car, he couldn't help but sting, "Please be careful when you walk on the road in the future. Do you accidentally break the shaft of the car or shock the horse!"
"Oh, thank you for your reminder from Master Yang!" Mr. Second suddenly turned his head and said with a smile, "Please be careful in the future. The court seems to be first-rate in the mountains and thieves in the south of the valley, and there is a bit of a neat idea."
When the second husband got into the car, the old servant jumped into the coachman's position without saying a word. He waved his whip and the carriage immediately moved forward steadily. The second husband opened the curtain and saw Yang Hu standing there gritting his teeth. He couldn't help but shake his head and laughed in silence: "A vulgar man and a reckless man, it's very easy to hold it, and it's not worth fearing."
"Sir, someone is following me, are you going to be apart?"
"After turning from Chongwenmenli Street to Yangzhou Hutong, I got the person dealt with. Remember not to die!"
When the carriage drove out of a north-south alley near Mingzhifang grassland in Yangzhou Hutong, a figure hanging behind the carriage disappeared at some point. The carriage circled in a circle, but then left the city from Chongwenmen. After turning east and driving the branch factory, the carriage stopped. The second man heard the old servant outside called respectfully: "Big shopkeeper."
"Did you happen to pass by or wait for me here?" Mr. Er raised the curtain of the car and saw the middle-aged man wearing an iron mask coming up without saying a word and came up with the car. He couldn't help but smile, "Why, just a little bit of a small matter, are you still worried that I can't do it myself? Bai Ying is known as the Holy Lord of the White Lotus, but she is indecisive and not at all generous. If I were him, Luo Qing would have taken action to destroy him before he became a weather, and there would still be a momentum of qualifying in the current situation?"
"Bai Ying is nothing great, but after all, he is the nominal co-lord of Bailian. He often believes in Maitreya on the villages and green forest roads in the southern part of the country. If he really angers him, it will not be beneficial to major events." After gently holding the iron face on his face, Xu Bian said in a deep voice, "I came to the capital. I was originally going to the north, but I learned that the situation in the capital was like this, I had to stay for a few days. Mr. Luo, you have always made plans. From you, if the situation continues to develop, who will win or lose?"
"Well..."
Mr. Luo, who has countless identities, hesitated for a moment, then laughed and said, "You can't say it, this problem is really tricky. Xu Xun gave me too many surprises and won over one person after another. Now his momentum is not only not inferior to Liu Jin, but is slightly better. What's even more rare is that he can use sweet words to deceive several top figures in Qingliu. I have to say that this method is really powerful. However, Liu Jin is a longer age in the palace, and as long as the emperor is in the family, he can stand firm. Except for Liu Yu, who has just taken over as the Minister of War, I heard that Cao Yuan, the left censor of the Procuratorate, also got involved. All the treacherous people in the court know that the Liu family's door is easier to enter than the Xu family, and the Qingliu people may not be willing to obey Xu, so the two are evenly matched."
If he had known that he would have been optimistic about the person who had cheated out of Jiao Fang's mansion. Who would have thought that he would be run away if he was not careful!
"It's worthy of being Mr. Luo, I can see it better than us." Xu Bian smiled slightly, and then said thoughtfully, "However, your highness can only be used to ask Liu Jin for his affairs. After all, Nanchang is far away in Jiangxi, and most people in the capital don't care about it. Xu Xun is Jinlingzi. Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua come to the disciples. If you recruit Lin Jun, who is in charge of Ding You, it will be not so easy for Your Highness to regain guards. This matter should be as soon as possible, so Mr. Luo has to work hard."
The so-called hard work is nothing more than a humble and flattery, which is familiar to Mr. Luo. After a while, Xu Bian got out of the car and returned to his sedan. After a while, the sedan that was carried by the two disappeared in the alley. It was not until this time that Mr. Luo put down the curtain of the car and said casually: "He has always been concerned about making money and not doing foreign affairs, but now he has come to guide me. It is said that I have transformed into tens of millions, but no one has understood his origin from beginning to end. If I were Your Highness, I would not believe such a person!"
"Sir, the wise man, has never been able to compare with you. As for trust, Your Highness also trusts you more."
“That’s right.”
As the carriage started again, he turned out of the alley in a short while. Soon, the two sedan chair that had just disappeared turned out from a jig alley next to it and stopped at the position just now. Xu Bian picked up the curtain and looked at the other side silently for a while. Until two black shadows rushed out of the jig alley, he whispered: "Look at Mr. Luo, these things are all his negotiations outside, and be sure to pay attention to everyone he handed over. If there is anything wrong, you can do as your highness's previous instructions."
"yes!"
After the person left, Xu Bian put down the curtain and signaled to go. He leaned on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes as if he was resting. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and a happy smile appeared on his face.
He paid so much, not only did his son become someone else's, but he also ruined his face. He endured for so many years, and now he is finally not far from his long-cherished wish! Although he had thought of other ways, the facts proved that only by eradicating the roots can he eliminate future troubles forever. He could only bury those impulses deeply in his heart. Fortunately, he also gave birth to a smart and clever son, and his daughter-in-law had already had a body, and he had no worries!
What is the result of doing so many good things about making money? There is only power in this world, no justice. As long as he avenges, he will not care about the floods in this world!
There was a festive atmosphere in Xing'an Bo Mansion. Yesterday, after Xu Liang and Shen Yue returned together, news of Chen Yue's joy spread. However, in the past night, not to mention that the servants in the mansion knew, many officials outside received the news, and there were many people who flocked to congratulate and give gifts. In contrast, those who had a deep friendship with the Xu family did not respond so quickly. Only Tang Yin asked his wife to take his daughter to give Chen Yue a picture of Guanyin giving birth to Chen Yue.
At this moment, Chen Yue sat there with Tao Sheng in his arms, and smiled at Chen Jiuniang, "Mr. Tang and his sister-in-law are so polite. I want me to say that they are all blessings brought by Tao Sheng. Even if I happened to find someone to take the pulse that day, it was thanks to her."
"Where is, the lady is very blessed. Speaking of that day, I am still very scared. If I really make a fuss about her..."
"Isn't this good? Besides, if it weren't for her collision, I might be confused myself!" Chen Yue said as she was scared, thinking that Mrs. Wei was right at that time. Since her godmother was abducted by the monk, she had no mother around her, and some things were good and she was confused and had no reminder. Otherwise, how could she have delayed so long to find out?
Seeing Tao Sheng laughing and dancing around Chen Yue, knowing that this was the temper that the little girl developed when she was in Nanjing, Chen Jiuniang couldn't help but feel a little frightened. But when Chen Yue smiled and pulled Tao Sheng to sit on the soft couch together, she asked her if she was used to it when she arrived in the capital, and if she missed her home. Although she also missed Taohuawu, she passed by in a flash.
Although he lived in seclusion with Tang Yin in Taohuawu, he had lost his fame and fortune, even a minor official could come to him. It is not impossible to go back now, but when Pingbei Bo was employed, his husband's other husband could not do anything, but when he was using a scholar like Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua, he could still handle the matter with a scholar-in-law like Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua. When his husband helped Pingbei Bo succeed, they would return to Taohuawu, which would be the real peace and joy for the rest of their lives.
Chen Yue looked at Xiao Taosheng, who inherited the exquisiteness of his mother and had a handsome father. He couldn't help but think about whether the baby in his belly would be a daughter or a son. Although it was a wealthy family who were looking forward to having a son first, Xu Xun kept talking last night and wanted to have a daughter first. In the future, the elder sister and brother, he would be relieved, and the trouble made her feel a little moved when she saw Taosheng. Just as she was hesitating, Ruyi suddenly rushed in quickly outside.
"Young grandma, you're very happy!" Ruyi Chen Jiuniang looked over in surprise, and then realized that there was someone else there. She quickly rushed to Chen Yue and bent down and said, "Mom Li's place is sending someone to announce the good news. She gave birth to a big fat boy!"
"Ah!" Chen Yue stood up and exclaimed, "Godmother was born so soon? Where is the human being?"
Ruyi knew that Chen Yuezhunbao had forgotten that Li Qingniang had now become the wife of the Zhong family. After coughing, she said, "The reward for the good news was gone, saying that she would definitely hold a banquet for the young lady after the full moon!"
Although Chen Yue understood it all at once, she had already treated Li Qingniang as her biological mother after all. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but stand up: "What a full moon... I have to think about what to send... Mrs. Chen, come and think about my ideas for me. What should I give to you when I greet you?"
...
