The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Chapter 125

Tu Lingguang talked with his ears in detail, seeing Lin Mingyu's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are you so surprised, you were the one who participated in the plan that day."

Lin Mingyu shook his head, "I didn't expect him to move so fast, so he would be hooked. However, if Tu Shuo successfully reached an agreement with the thieves, wouldn't the governor of Fujian also participate in it?"

Tu Lingguang said: "Whether you participated or not, you just wait, you will know soon."

Seeing his expression, Lin Mingyu knew that he might be guiding and manipulating it. In this way, the governor of Fujian might not have the same heart with Tu Shuo.Could it be Tu Lingguang's person?

He thought about it and didn't ask much.Wu Dalang and Zhou Zhaoqing are in Fujian, so they should have found out the news.

"Do you have plans for tomorrow?"

Tu Lingguang smiled and said: "Well, tomorrow I will let the people I met see this matter, but this matter will not make a big deal."

Lin Mingyu thought for a while before she understood.The person Tu Lingguang was looking for was someone who wanted to pursue his career upwards. He was ambitious enough, but courageous enough.Grabbing the handle of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion can make him ecstatic, but full of fear on the one hand.Under such torment, he can either take risks and expose King Zhongshun or use this to blackmail King Zhongshun; or collect more evidence to seek greater benefits.

What if the other party conspired with King Zhongshun instead?

Tu Lingguang said: "If I let one person know, I can let others know too. Don't worry about this matter, I have it."

Tu Lingguang smiled and took his hand, led him into the courtyard, stopped at the courtyard gate, touched his cheek, untied the big fur cloak he was wearing, swapped it with his, and tied it for him himself. good.His eyes stayed on Lin Mingyu's face for a long time, looking at him.

Lin Mingyu could understand the reluctance in his eyes, because he himself was the same.The sky was completely dark, and snowflakes were falling down one after another.

"It's snowing." Lin Mingyu said slowly.

Tu Lingguang looked into his eyes and nodded: "It's cold and slippery, I'll ask someone to prepare a car to take you home."

Lin Mingyu originally wanted to refuse, but facing Tu Lingguang's eager eyes, he couldn't say the words of rejection, so he could only nod his head and move his fingers lightly.

Tu Lingguang glanced at the door, shook his head, let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother won't see you off, bear with it for a while longer."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Mingyu understood what he meant.

If he endured for a few more days, he might have the confidence to defeat Zhongshun Palace.At that time, the situation will be clear, and his scruples will be less.

Lin Mingyu knew that the road ahead would not be easier than it is now, so he nodded and gave him a reassuring smile.

The next day, when the city gate first opened, the queue outside the city gate was already moving.

A caravan mixed in the crowd attracted the attention of the surrounding people.The carts covered by coarse cloth are lined up one by one, the drivers wear the same style of short geese, and each of the horses pulling the carts is strong and has shiny fur.The bamboo baskets exposed from the front and rear of the cart are filled with various mountain products and seasonal vegetables.

People pointed, which family's Zhuangtou came to the city to pay respects.Some inquisitive ones chatted with the men driving the carriages while queuing up to enter the city.

"Which noble family is your boss? With this attitude, how many good things have been obtained on the head of the village. There are more than a dozen carts for pulling goods alone. It's really rich."

The driver of the car glanced at the inquiring person, seeing that the other person was well dressed, he smiled and said: "Brother Buman, this is really a noble man. Does the Zhongshun Palace know? All these things were brought to that mansion. "

"Oh, my brother's employer is the prince's house, so I'm sorry and disrespectful."

The driver hurriedly waved his hands: "How can I? My boss is from Chengdong Restaurant, and the leader of the team is the manager of our restaurant Su. He is in charge of the purchase. Tomorrow is the flower banquet for the concubine of the Zhongshun Palace. This business is in charge of our restaurant. That’s right, what we’re pulling here are all fresh things from the mountains, and we’re taking the time to send them to people’s houses.”

"The flower banquet in the palace must not be like the Peach Blossom Festival in the fairy world. It's a pity that I don't have the blessing of my brother, so I can't enter the palace to have a look."

The man added that the city gate had opened ahead, and it was the caravan's turn to enter the city.The leader of the guards guarding the gate led a group of people over to inspect people and goods, and one of them lifted the coarse cloth of the carriage before taking a look.Su Furu has already walked over quickly and bowed with a smile on his face, saying: "This general, please wait a moment."

The leader said: "Are you the person in charge of this team? Tell me your name."

Su Furu hurriedly said: "My little man, Su Furu, is the manager of purchasing at Yuelai Restaurant in the east of the city. Because he took over the flower banquet business from Prince Zhongshun's mansion, he specially obeyed the shopkeeper's order to collect a lot of mountain goods from the farmer's house outside the city. Waiting to enter the city and send it to the palace for the nobles to use. This is the badge that Xiaomin borrowed from Manager Wang, please check it, General."

A guard next to him took the badge from him and showed it to the head guard.

The leader looked at it, and then looked up and down at Su Furu.Su Furu got Wang Qin's letter and knew that the general who was guarding the gate had an arrangement to be loyal to the palace, so he was not nervous and looked very calm.

After waiting for a while, the leader of the guards handed over the badge, Su Furu took it, and then with a flick of his wrist, a letter of money was about to be handed over.

"Small idea, invite the generals to have a cup of tea."

The general took his silver seal, smiled, raised his hand, and said to the guards around him: "Go over and search every car carefully."

Su Furu's face changed, and the man turned around with a serious face: "I know that I am doing business for Prince Zhongshun, and this matter is even worse. Brothers, if you are more careful, you can do your best for the prince."

Su Furu already knew that the leader of the guards might not be someone arranged by Zhongshun Wangfu, did someone discover their secret, or was this person deliberately making things difficult, and was sent by the prince's opponent?But if this car is really searched, it is difficult to guarantee that the secret will not be leaked.

His face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "General, I will help you to convey your heart to the lord. However, these mountain products are the most fresh and rare. If they are damaged, I am afraid that the nobles will use them. It is not delicious, and blame it, Xiao. It's hard to explain to the people, why not..."

"——It's better to see what it is, so that the hearts of the nobles can be reassured." The head guard cut off his words, walked forward a few steps, and stopped in front of the third car.The tarpaulin on the car has been half lifted, and a guard is checking it.He waved to the man above, who jumped out of the car.

The leader of the guards pulled out his waist knife, and suddenly pointed it at the pile of mountain goods.

"No!"

"Wait!"

Two exclamations sounded almost simultaneously, accompanied by a slight metal bludgeoning sound, which was clearly transmitted to the ears of the people beside the car.

Another group of guards came quickly, and the leader was a figure dressed as a military general in his thirties.In front of this person, he immediately called to the head of the guards: "Zhang Quan, stop!"

Zhang Quan turned his head and immediately stood up straight and saluted as a general, "General Wang."

"Zhang Quan, what are you doing? Why are you obstructing the people from entering the city for no reason! If you dare to take advantage of your position of guarding the city gates to do anything bullying, I will not spare you lightly."

Zhang Quan hurriedly cupped his hands: "The general misunderstood. Just now I saw that the caravan was abnormal, and I was going to investigate carefully. I dare not obstruct the people for no reason. Please check it out."

"It's not that good. Come here, I have something to tell you."

"But this..."

"What is this? General Ben knows the whole story. This Steward Su was indeed ordered by the palace to buy goods and enter the city. I also know the person. There is no need to investigate. Let your people come down quickly, and don't delay the people from entering the city." city."

Zhang Quan frowned, with a troubled expression on his face: "General, I naturally have to obey what you said, but just now when I inspected the vehicle, I heard the sound of gold and stone. If it is an ordinary food, how can there be the sound of gold and stone? Look at this People are sneaky, I'm afraid they brought some shady things in? If we don't strictly check, the prince will blame us in the future, wouldn't we have to bear the responsibility?"

The general's face froze, and he immediately said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! This is something specially purchased by the Zhongshun Palace for the princess's flower banquet. How can there be any abnormalities. Don't be suspicious! You all retreat quickly, and I will be on duty at this gate. "

"General Wang..."

Zhang Quan also said that General Wang had waved his hand and forcibly stood beside the vehicle.Zhang Quan stamped his feet in a hurry, and said: "General Wang, you are so determined, if anything happens, you will have to bear the responsibility!"

General Wang sneered and said, "It's clear that there is nothing wrong with you. You're probably confused. The sound of gold and stone is obviously to preserve the mud and rocks in the box! Put your sword away and go down!"

Zhang Quan withdrew his sword half-believingly, glanced unwillingly at the open bamboo basket on the cart, his forward movement was stopped by the staring guards on both sides, and he sighed in puzzlement, with a smile on his face. With his own hands, he flashed into the city gate.

General Wang ordered, "The inspection is correct, let it go!"

As he walked in front of Su Furu, he complained a bit: "Mr. Su came too early, and he didn't wait for XX. This kid interfered with this matter, and almost missed the prince's important event."

But Su Furu looked at the place where Zhang Quan disappeared, and felt something was wrong in his heart: "General Wang, let's not talk about this. If something really happened, you and I can't escape the anger of the prince. Let's think about how to solve this matter." Good. Guard Zhang, think of a proper way to appease him."

General Wang showed a look of disdain, "I don't need to remind you, I will find a way to deal with him. Don't worry, I understand Zhang Quan. He is a bit pedantic, but he doesn't belong to any faction. He has a stupid mind. Let him guard the gate and only think about guarding the gate. I will open it up with him later and promise benefits, and it will be done. He absolutely can't figure out what's going on in the middle. If he really becomes suspicious, I will deal with him , so you can feel at ease, sir?"

Although Su Furu didn't like General Wang Tuoda, judging by Zhang Quan's behavior just now, he was not a person who really had the backbone to dare to confront the Shangguan, so he was not very worried, so he ordered the coachmen to take care of their things and drive away. He led the convoy into the city gate.

As soon as their convoy moved, the people blocking the entrance and exit of the city could follow suit. A man in a dark gray old fur cloak looked in the direction of the convoy, as if he was thinking about something.The servant beside him hurriedly reminded: "Master, it's time for us to leave the city."

"No, let's go back."

go back?Didn't he say he was going out of the city to bring back his wife who was angry and returned to her mother's house? The master is so afraid of his wife, how dare he give up his mind at this time?Could it be that the master is finally going to get rid of the name of fearing his wife, and he can stand upright among his colleagues in the censor?
