Chapter 182
: People's hearts are in chaos
When the waiter who went out to buy came back with a large basket, the breakfast on the three tables had already been swept away, and the green leaves and lotus seed porridge had already been put on two dishes.
Since the Lianxiang was eaten in small amount, most of the things on Tan Zong's table were filled with him. Therefore, he just took a steamed bun as a sign. The remaining large buns of steamed buns and braised beef wrapped in oil paper were distributed to eight guards. As for the two jars of rice wine, they were taken directly to the kitchen. According to Tan Zong's intention, the rice wine must naturally be heated first, and then some wolfberry should be added to drink.
As for Han Xinjie on the other side, she finished her breakfast early, while Mingxin waited for Han Xinjie to eat almost back to her room, so she had time to fill her stomach.
But this little girl was not honest when eating, and her eyes always swept towards Lianxin intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't know what it was in her eyes. Anyway, it was very strange.
Seeing that it was interesting, Lianxiang leaned into Tan Zong's ear and whispered: "Master, that little girl from the Han family really likes you, right?" After that, Lianxiang laughed first. If it were the third lady of the Han family, Lianxiang would still be afraid of it, but she had no scruples at all, and the gap in identity was really too obvious.
Tan Zong smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly and said, "If it's just like this, it's still impossible. The key is that this girl is still thinking about matching me and her lady, which makes me feel very troubled."
"Her lady?" Lianxiang, who had been chuckling, couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this, but this was a bit beyond her expectations. The relationship between the Han family and the Wang family is well known in Nanjing, and the old man of the Han family is determined to marry his young daughter into the royal palace. This is not an amazing secret, so Lianxiang frowned.
She really didn't understand why a little maid from the Han family had such confidence to get the third lady of the Han family who was about to collapse into the Tan family. Could it be that it was based on a joke from King An?
Lianxiang already knew Zhao Yunan's joke that day, but she was different from others, but she did not take this to heart. After all, the person in charge of the Tan family's back house is neither her Lianxiang nor her good sister Qinghe, but Su Jin. Therefore, she looked at such a troublesome thing with a look at the fun.
If Su Jin doesn't respond, he will most likely offend this powerful prince of the dynasty. If Su Jin really responds, then what status should the third lady of the Han family enter the Tan family's door: a fair wife or a concubine?
You should know that even Su Jin herself is just a fair wife, so how can she be qualified to let another fair wife come in? What's more, if the third lady of the Han family really enters the Tan family as a fair wife, she will ask carefully what the two sisters should have in the Tan family?
Naturally, Lianxiang doesn't care, but she wants to help her most trusted sister Qinghe fight for the title of a fair wife! After all, the two sisters have shared hardships with Tan Zong. It is easy to share wealth and prosperity, but difficult to share hardships. Now that Tan Zong is well developed, if she wants to leave her concubine who shares hardships aside, if this matter is spread, Tan Zong's face will probably be thrown a lot!
After thinking about this clearly, Lianxiang lost interest in this little girl, so she simply ignored the little girl and said to Tan Zong: "Master, do you have anything to do in the morning? If you are fine, please accompany Nunu to visit Wuxi City. I know that there is a Feifengxuan in Wuxi City, and the hairpin made by the master there is the most beautiful one, even the jewelry shops in Nanjing Mansion are even better. Why don't we pick a few for the two sisters?"
Tan Zong was still a little interested at first. After all, this morning I just wanted to go to the south of the city to leave a secret code, but there were no other arrangements. But when he heard that Lianxiang was going to pick a hairpin, Tan Zong suddenly felt a little distressed and said, "I'm afraid this is not possible. Wuxi City was robbed yesterday, and the gold and silver shops in the city were probably robbed all of them. I'm afraid there are not even any beads left."
When Lianxiang heard this, her eyes opened to the maximum.
She stayed in the car all the way from Nanjing to Wuxi, but she just took a break in the towns along the way. One was to change horses in old horse carriages in various cities, and the other was to be "convenient". But along the way from Changzhou, she was basically sleepy. If she had not been awakened by the coachman, she would not have known that she had arrived in Wuxi and had already caught up with Tan Zong.
When she arrived in Wuxi, although she was surprised that everyone in the county government was injured, and even she was crying and crying in the inner hall, she was devoted to finding Tan Zong and did not think too much. When she arrived at the inn, she was entangled by Xiao Ping'er, and then she saw Tan Zong again, and she had no idea.
Therefore, she had no idea about the major incident that happened in Wuxi City that was enough to shake the entire Dashun Dynasty. If Tan Zong hadn't told her, she would have really run to Feifengxuan with great enthusiasm. When she asked to buy a hairpin, she would probably be driven out by the angry and angry guy in the store.
Lianxiang, who was still in shock, was left in the inn, and Chen Yang, Lu Wenyun, the most injured, and two oldest guards Chen Xin and Lu Yi, were left in the inn. One was to take care of Chen Yang, Lu Wenyun was seriously injured, and the other was to protect Lianxiang, Han Xinjie and other women.
After Qin Yu and others finished their meal, Tan Zong, who had a strict package on three layers inside and three layers outside, then left the door.
The inn booked by Lin Qingyun is not in the center of the county town, but is slightly on the north side. If you walk from the inn and then to the center of the county town, it will only take about half an hour. If you want to walk to the south of the city, some will leave. But Tan Zong originally intended to take the opportunity to see the people's sentiments and public opinion in the Infinite City, and it is a bit inconvenient to ride a carriage, so he insisted on walking over.
But after coming out of the inn, I met pedestrians along the way in a hurry and strange manner, as if I were following a hanged ghost. The peddlers who walked around the streets and alleys on weekdays were gone, and no children who should have morning classes were seen.
Tan Zong walked in the middle, ten steps ahead, Yan Jin and Wang Kunyun, dressed in regular clothes. They looked like a pair of familiar scholars, saying something from time to time; and Tan Zong was surrounded by Xie Yan, who was dressed as an official, with a look of respect on his face; the one hanging on the back was Qin Yu, who was extremely archery skills, but Tan Zong didn't know where he was hiding at this moment. If it weren't for Xie Yan's affirmative reply, Tan Zong would almost think that Qin Yu had been lost.
Everyone's weapons were now collected in their clothes, which was Tan Zong's request.
Now that Wuxi County has just encountered a great disaster, the people in the city will definitely have subconscious fear of weapons and other things. If they are presented directly, they will be afraid of panic among the people, but it will go against Tan Zong's wishes.
"People's hearts are in chaos." Looking at the pedestrians passing by quickly on the road, Tan Zong couldn't help but sigh.
Although Wuxi County is a Fu County, it is because of its special geographical location and the annual grain harvest. But even so, Wuxi County is not a place where life is fast. However, pedestrians on the road are so hurrying and keep looking around when walking, obviously worried that someone will suddenly jump out to grab property.
At this moment, Xie Yan suddenly went forward and said in Tan Zong's ear: "Master, the two boys just passed the message, saying that there were many people surrounding him, asking if he wanted to take a detour?"
"On the crowd?" Tan Zong subconsciously thought of this word, but soon laughed again, knowing that he had subconsciously spit out again. But the moment when Tan Zong laughed, Xie Yan was a little confused. He couldn't figure out how just one sentence could make Tan Zong laugh.
Regardless of Xie Yan's feelings, Tan Zong calmed down his feelings and said, "It's okay to go over and see what happened. I think there will be no assassins in Wuxi County now. Besides, those assassins have been injured by Uncle Fu, so there should be no need to worry in a short period of time. And like those assassins who have such high kung fu skills, there are not many in the Tiansheng Sect, otherwise the world would have been in chaos long ago, so why do you need to secretly preach the mission in the Jiangnan territory? Therefore, you don't have to worry too much."
Seeing Tan Zong's relaxed statement, Xie Yan frowned unconsciously.
The ones who are guards, the least they like is to protect people and go to crowded places. It would be fine if they were more secretive, but Tan Zong had been assassinated once in Changzhou, and it is inevitable that they would not come again in Wuxi County. But Uncle Fu, the master of the most skilled kung fu around Tan Zong, is still helping in Xinglin Pavilion. Even when Tan Zong came back last night, he said that he would wait for the seriously injured to recover slightly before leaving, and he was not by Tan Zong at all.
What's more, Tan Zong has only four guards around him now, and everyone is injured. If he meets an assassin again, it is hard to say how much effect it can play. However, since Tan Zong has made a decision, Xie Yan cannot even object if he wants to object. He can only send a signal and make the other three people be more careful.
After walking for a while, the sound in front of him was gradually coming. However, except for the faint crying sound that made Tan Zong know that the person who was crying was a woman, there were only extremely noisy sounds, and he couldn't hear clearly what was happening. The crowd was surrounded by tightly and could not see what was happening inside, which made Tan Zong very helpless.
At this moment, a fat man suddenly ran over from outside and ran away and shouted, "Tornado Lin is here, Tornado Lin is here! Everyone, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave!"
When the onlookers heard this, they immediately changed their colors, one, two, three, and four, and then left. In the end, the onlookers actually left in a flash, and the remaining one or two percent were just standing in the distance, pointing at this side.
