Chapter 198: Rescue

When Yizhuoha heard five hundred taels, he laughed and busied himself with saying, “Your Majesty is too broke.”

Zhu was satisfied and departed at that moment.

At this time, the entire Qixia, has long been a sea of people.

In fact, people watching the event were still in the majority, as if they were rushing to a temple fair.

While this was going on, a number of vaudeville and theater troupes arrived, and for a while, while babbling on this side of the room, there were people breaking their chests on the other side of the room.

The merchants could not ride in sedan chairs, so most of them had to ride in horse-drawn carriages, so much so that the carriages and horses were congested on the road, and the drivers cursed endlessly.

The local messenger then hurried over as a guide and was busy.

The happiest ones are of course the merchants, and with this kind of traffic, it means buying and selling.

Nowadays, stores are springing up here, and the stores are more than adjacent to each other, hanging various colors of flag coils, attracting the passing merchants and travelers.

People were still talking about the treasure goods and the recent events in the capital.

It is very clear that the movement of the court has become a matter of concern in the streets.

In the past, it was the monopoly of the readers to talk about national affairs.

After all, only the readers are most in touch with the court, but now there is a di newspaper, many barely literate, or businessmen also began to care about it.

This in the view of many readers, clearly is a bad wind direction, businessmen and merchants interests, even began to talk about national issues.

In their eyes, it’s as if they’re bathing in monkeys.

Of course, there is never a shortage of monks at this time of year.

The monks were carrying their wooden bowls at this time, wandering between the streams of people, or to one store or another, especially the Jijie Temple.

His Majesty granted permission to draw monks from all the temples into the Jixing Temple, which was obviously in preparation for a large-scale relic tour as well as a trip south to Annam.

Chicken Temple now brothers …… ah no, monks more up.

Their first lesson in joining the temple was to be sent down the mountain by the abbot to ask for food …… No, it was to make money.

Here the difference between monks and Taoists is revealed.

The monks were making alms, and there were occasional Taoist priests in straw sandals, most of whom, unlike the modest monks, had a stern face and looked out of place in the world.

There were also some Taoists, ringing bells, and most of them attended some red and white ceremonies to earn a living.

“Ahem ……”

There was a cough and someone got out of one of the carriages.

With that, the man looked up at the endless line ahead.

It’s all lined up to get into the auction house.

The auction house has put up signs that there are no seats, only standing room.

There are too many people who are going to participate in the auction today, and there is no more room to sit, so we have to condescend to everyone and squeeze in.

But this still keeps the enthusiasm alive.

The coughing scholar, mixed in with a group of merchants, looked out of place.

But his face was not the least bit defiant.

Looking at the joyful people in front of him, it would be impossible for his heart not to have waves in it.

In a way, for him, it was the fact that he had come to Sukhumvit that had really made up his mind.

Zhang Anshi, this person, is increasingly impossible to underestimate.

This also represents …… whether the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di will have a possibility …… to draw on the financial and material resources brought about by this, and eventually …… explode into a heaven destroying energy.

The merchant who was in line with him, at this time, said with a smile, “Who is brother, but not like a merchant?”

This scholar said, “The cheap name is not worth mentioning, but I just came to join in the fun.”

This merchant then said: “to come here to join in the fun, want to go in, but to pay the deposit, and the price is not expensive, brother if you just look at a lively, but also teach people to admire.”

Merchants, whenever there is an opportunity, are willing to deal with people, more friends, more road, perhaps, unintentionally, a deal will be made?

“I see you are not well.”

“Yes, this is an old …… disease.”

“I recognize a doctor who is quite skilled in the art of healing ……”

“This is not necessary, I am sick, I do not know how many doctors have seen …… coughing …… if there is a good medicine, why delay until today?”

“That’s true.”

Between the two of you and me, unknowingly, arrived at the entrance of the venue, fish pass into, but see the inside open.

It s just that …… there are already a lot of people, and many of them occupy a good position, so this sick scholar, he had to stand in a corner.

The one who had been following him around was an old servant, who had also paid the bond, and whose wealth was evident.

The old servant was at this scholar’s side, taking advantage of the distant clamor, and lowered his voice, “It’s ready.”

“Uh-huh.”

“I just don’t know, if that person will come, if they pounce ……”

“It will come …… cough ……”

“Just Be Afraid ……”

But at this time …… suddenly a figure appeared in front of this scholar s eyes.

That person with also lost ha, crowded in the crowd, and readers hide in the corner is different, this person constantly forward, afraid not to see the hustle and bustle.

And under his breath he cursed, “Into your mother, stepping on my foot.”

The scolded merchant was furious when he heard it, and glared back, but he realized that the man was holding a general’s belly, a tiger’s back and waist, and although he was not tall, he had an appalling aura.

So immediately he wimped out and dutifully backed away.

Zhu finally squeezed to the front, completely by physical means, visible learning good mathematics, science and chemistry, walk all over the world are not afraid, all things do not decide, but where the use of physical damage, there is nothing that can not be solved.

At this time, Zhu Jin has already appeared on the stage, under the attention of ten thousand people, he smiled and said, “Gentlemen, gentlemen, everyone knows that some days ago, Xie Gong died his son, we Qixia …… and Xie Gong have an uncompromising relationship, and after hearing of this sad news, everyone is grieving… …Because of this ……”

Just before that was said, it drew a lot of dissonant voices.

“Less nagging, quick auction …… people dead son has nothing to do with you.”

“Hurry up and get started, don’t delay!”

There was a commotion down there.

Zhu Jin is still smiling on his face, doing business, peace and prosperity, not to argue with people.

So Zhu Jin said: “In any case, the first seven have passed, even if again grief, but the sale always have to do, the living always have to be strong to live! The next launch, is the Western ivory, to thirty pounds for a batch, the reserve price of ten thousand taels open auction.”

Someone said, “Didn’t they say once upon a time that the reserve price was five thousand taels?”

Zhu Jin said, “This time, this time ah, this is ivory …… is rare! This thing, many people want to buy can not buy it! You do not know, an elephant to grow into, it takes decades, the elephant is huge, to eat bananas, how many a year to eat? Hey …… not easy to raise ah!”

“Furthermore, nowadays this wild elephant is scarce, want to find such ivory to come, it is much more difficult. And …… if you want to hunt elephants, I don’t know how many natives must be killed or injured. Gentlemen, gentlemen, the natives are too miserable, every pound of ivory, is a human life, this is blood and tears. Moreover, this elephant is also humane, we take its tusks, how can we be cruel? Do we have the heart to sell it cheap? Well, no more nagging, this is the price, if you have the ability to go elsewhere to buy!”

When he said that, someone took the ivory and displayed it.

When the people took a look at this tooth, they knew that it was the best of the best, and they were all moved.

Then some people began to compete for the first bid, and it was not a fun experience.

Zhu Di heard that the price climbed higher and higher, his heart was very happy, but on the surface, he did not make a sound, only coldly watched.

That scholar standing quietly in the corner, seemingly smiling, unlike the eagerness in this venue, he seemed like an uninvolved person who stayed out of it, just silently watching everything here.

At that moment, the old servant beside him lowered his voice and said, “It’s time to go.”

“Wait a little longer.” The reader coughed, then added, “There’s no rush.”

The old servant nodded slightly.

…………

At this time, Zhang Anshi was in no mood to watch the auction.

Instead, he was in his study, looking at a letter, pondering.

This many epistles, slowly converging, eventually connected into a string, seems to slowly …… a clue began to appear.

Zhu Yong smiled and said on the side: “Big brother, what is there to see in this letter, we are not readers.”

Zhang yoked Zhu Yong’s sleeve, signaling Zhu Yong to keep his mouth shut.

Zhu Yong then muttered, “Hey …… I’m just asking ……”

Right at this moment, Zhang Anshi suddenly raised his head and said under his breath, “In these few days, what’s the movement in the capital?”

“Movement? You’d have to ask Chen Li about that.” Zhu Yong said.

Zhang Anshi held his chin and said, “What are several of your fathers and brothers …… doing these …… few days?”

Zhu Yong said, “What do you mean, is my father a rebel party? No way, my father is so stupid ……”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Zhang Yoking said, “these two days, there is an arsenal also fire and explosion, burned a lot of gunpowder, this matter is very serious, so the five military governor’s office there, Ki Guo Gong and my brother, and the Ministry of War, go to find out the cause.”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, “Arsenal?”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said, “This person …… should be in Nanjing City ……”

Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Anshi strangely and said, “This person? Who is this person?”

Zhang Anshi ignored them, but still murmured, “It is very strange …… He came to Nanjing City, but there is no movement at all …… Since he came to Nanjing, it is absolutely impossible… . just a simple tour, this person has a serious illness …… a sick person, run such a long way, the only possibility is that he must have a big plan. Perhaps …… burning the arsenal is a deliberate attempt to cover up …… what he really wants to cover up ……”

These days, many warehouses are on fire because what is at stake is the case of Liu Wenjun.

Thus a fire in a martial arts storehouse instead did not attract the attention of ordinary people.

Zhang Anshi continued to murmur, “Such a person, to do surely want to do a big job, then …… is it against His Majesty? If it is against His Majesty …… this is obviously not right …… His Majesty is in the palace, there are warrior battalions, there are feather guards, many people here …… are His Majesty’s beloved, dare to hit the idea of the palace, he has this ability?”

Zhang Anshi said, more and more puzzled, and then added: “Poisoning? The method of poisoning is no longer likely to be effective, after the last poisoning, the palace precautions have become more and more strict, it is impossible …… to give them back the opportunity ……”

“Unless ……” Zhang Anshi looked puzzled, and suddenly, he raised his head up and looked at Zhu Yong, “Your …… Majesty …… can be in the palace?”

“Where does this …… me know?” Zhu Yong said with a straight face, “It’s not like I’m one of those goods without eggs.”

Zhang Anshi, however, violently remembered something, and his eyes then opened wide, “No, no, today’s auction …… I shit! Finished, finished …… auction ……”

“What.” Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Anshi in disbelief.

Zhang Anshi said, “If we want to calculate His Majesty’s whereabouts, the best way is to understand His Majesty’s habits, just His Majesty …… even if he goes out of the palace, he must be a god, want to lay out early, it is simply impossible, but if we don’t lay out early, with so much life bright guards and dark guards, in His Majesty’s eyes , are not worth mentioning.”

“Unless they can pinpoint exactly when His Majesty will leave the palace and where he will go.”

“His Majesty is most greedy for money …… No, His Majesty’s heart is for the whole world, and he is a literary and military strategist …… so he needs to raise money and grain …… I understand, I understand, His Majesty must have come to the auction house …… Zhu Yong …… Zhang Yoking, hurry, you two follow me …… Qiu Song …… Qiu Song ……”

Qiu Song Fang had been sitting quietly on the sidelines, but at this moment, he was dumbfounded, as if he had woken up from a dream, and looked at Zhang Anshi with his eyes wide open and bewildered.

Zhang Anshi looked nervous and said, “Qiu Song, you immediately go to the model battalion, let the model battalion …… immediately out of the battalion, and then surrounded the meeting place, must come early ah, big brother’s life, can be on your body.”

Chuson was silent for a moment, wiping his nose and waterway, “Oh.”

Zhang Anshi immediately droned, “Still oh what, hurry up and go ah.”

“Oh.” Chuson then responded before running off in a huff.

Zhu Yong also panicked, quickly asked, “Big brother, what is it, big brother ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Follow big brother and immediately go to the venue of the auction to seek His Majesty’s …… rescue ……”

“Help ……”

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking were first stunned, and then they were all eager to try.

Zhu Yong said, “Is someone trying to murder His Majesty?”

Zhang Anshi nodded bitterly, “Nine times out of ten, that’s it.”

Zhang Yoking is so excited that his eyes are red: “My father died saving the emperor, I have always wanted to inherit my late father’s legacy, this time I can let me catch the opportunity.”

Zhang Anshi slammed his head, “Remember, no matter how the time, first protect big brother, big brother is usually lazy, negligent of exercise, no hands, and afraid of death, not the same as you guys, got it?”

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking perked up.

There is no greater feat than saving the day.

As soon as they said save the day, they weren’t sleepy.

For these two teenagers, compared to their highly decorated fathers, it was a bit hard to find a place for their heroes, and sometimes they even hated to catch a chance to push the emperor’s old man into the fire, and then save the emperor from the fire.

Zhang Anshi quickly put on a suit of armor, as if it were a turtle shell, and without a weapon in his hand, he led Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoyo and left in a hurry.

………………

Wen Yuan Ge ……

Xie Jin’s public room, these days the door is full of sparrows.

Only today, there was a sudden visit.

The visitor was one of the chief ministers of the Ministry of War.

This master of ceremonies is called Deng Xian.

To the front of the understanding of Jinyin, Deng Xian saluted and said, “Duke Xie, the next official has a matter to report.”

Xie Jin has been looking extraordinarily tired these past few days.

After all, …… the death of his son, anyone else …… would have to be grief stricken.

The whole court was still sympathetic to him.

But Xie Jin is very strong, still on duty every day, not only responsible for the ticket, but also to read a lot of books, for the “literature dacheng” writing outline.

He looked tired and looked up, glancing at Deng Xian, for whom he had quite an impression.

浜庢槸锛岃В缂欐悂绗旓紝缁ц€屽钩闈欏湴閬擄細鈥滄棦鏄湁浜嬶紝浣犲簲璇ュ厛鎶ユ湰閮ㄧ殑閮ㄥ爞锛屾垨鑰呬笂濂忥紝鑰屼笉鏄壘鏉ヨ繖閲屻€傗€�

Teng Xian immediately bowed down and said, “Yes, my humble servant is really too abrupt.”

Although this is said, but Xie Jin said, “What is it?”

He still likes the way the hundred officials are terrified when they see him, and still still revels in the fact that he has become the center of discussion among the world’s readers.

There is a kind of person who is born to love the hustle and bustle, always wanting to occupy the center of the stage, wanting to be held in the palm of people’s hands with every move they make.

Deng Xian said, “About the fire in the arsenal ……”

Xie Jin frowned and said, “The fire in the arsenal, the Ministry of War and the Five Military Governor’s Office, didn’t they send someone to investigate? How, there is news?”

“There is no news there yet.” Deng Xian said, “But my humble servant has found out that …… a few of the officials in charge of the arsenal have some …… some ……”

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Jin said, “But there is no harm in saying so.”

“These officials, all three months ago, were suddenly appointed, and the original officials of this arsenal have been removed one by one ……”

Xie Jin said, “You mean …… there is a big fishy here?”

“Not only so ……” Deng Xian said, “often the rise and fall of officials, especially military officials, the general situation, is the five military governor’s office side to draw up a roster, sent to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War and then verify, here head …… very lengthy …… without a few months of effort is not done.”

“But the strange thing is ……” Deng Xian continued period, “the strange thing is …… that this appointment, but very smooth, involving officials Seventeen people, almost all of them were certified for office within a month.”

Xie Jinyin but lightly said, “Do you think …… that this is someone intentionally?”

“Exactly.” Deng Xian said, “This thing is already strange, but no one thought …… that not long after, the arsenal was on fire, does not Xie Gong think it is strange?”

Xie Jin has no interest in this, this is the Ministry of War and the Five Military Governor’s Office.

He only felt impatient.

So he coldly said, “Even if there is something fishy, the Five Armies Governor’s Office and the Ministry of Military Affairs will have their own fair judgment by then.”

“All the evidence is destroyed, and even the officials …… who walked the streets are dead.”

“Dead?” Xie Jin stared at Deng Xian.

Deng Xian said, “If my humble guess is correct, this could be a precursor to certain changes.”

Xie Jin finally became interested, then said, “Omen? What change?”

Deng Xian said, “Such a great deal of trouble, its ambition must not be small …… people with such energy, I wonder …… what they are scheming?”

Deng Xian said on one side, looked up and stared dead at Xie Jin.

Xie Jinyin was shocked in his heart, and he suddenly realized that Deng Xian, this person …… is not as obsequious as his surface.

The man …… looked at him with an aggressive look.

Xie Jin said, “What are you trying to say?”

Deng Xian said, “My humble servant would like …… to think that in these few days, there must be a big change in the capital.”

Xie Jinyin shuddered slightly, and then continued to ask: “What big change?”

Deng Xian, however, laughed and said, “That’s hard to say.”

Xie Jin how smart people, immediately captured a little something, then said: “If there is a big change, why do not you report to the palace?”

Deng Xian smiled skinlessly and said, “Perhaps …… things have been difficult to undo the point, rather than thinking of playing the report, it is better to plan early and save for a rainy day.”

“Saving for a rainy day ……” Xie Jin muttered, and then stared at Deng Xian: “How can I save for a rainy day?”

“Duke Xie …… has just experienced the pain of losing his son, he must express his condolences.”

This sentence, a little sudden, but as if a thorn directly into the heart of Xie Jin, Xie Jin shivered.

He was grieving the death of his son.

More sorrowful is …… the hall of Wen Yuange university scholar, like a house slave, arbitrarily executed son, this is a scholar can not endure the humiliation.

However, …… Xie Jin is never stupid, and he looked at Deng Xian with a grim gaze, “This is my business.”

“This is of course Xie Gong’s private matter, just …… wait until once the big change occurs, it is the building will fall, at that time …… where does Xie Gong go from here? Xie Gong is Wen Yuan Ge University doctor, the leader of the scholarly world, once this situation occurs, should step forward to maintain the overall situation. Only in this way can we live up to Duke Xie’s reputation.”

Xie Jin looked cold and scolded in a low voice: “What the hell are you talking about, it’s simply outrageous, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will immediately order someone to take you down!”

Deng Xian said, “Yes. My humble servant has spoken nonsense, please forgive me, Lord Xie.”

Xie Jin said in a cold voice: “Get out!”

Deng Xian seems to roughly guessed to understand Jin’s mind: “I will be on duty in the Ministry of War in these days, Xie Gong if you want to summon, the next official on call.”

At that moment, he solemnly saluted Jie Jin, and finally left in a flourish.

But at this time, Xie Jin’s heart is in turmoil.

It was as if a stone, suddenly thrown into the bottom of an ancient well of the heart, rippled all at once.

Unmotivated to continue the ticket drafting, he stood up and paced back and forth, preoccupied, in the duty room.

Gloomily, a pair of eyes, both look panicked, but as if …… a light was born in the depths of the eyes, as if it was expecting something.

…………

The auction venue was still bustling with activity.

The merchants were constantly calculating prices and profits, some were still waiting to see what would happen, while others were afraid that when the auction for the back-end goods was over, the prices would climb higher, so they made their bids early.

Zhu Jin’s throat is going to shout: “seventeen thousand taels, seventeen thousand taels, there is no more, after this village, there is no more this store ah ……”

“Eighteen thousand.” Zhu suddenly yelled.

A merchant said, “Nineteen thousand.”

Zhu said, “Twenty-three thousand.”

All at once, the entire venue was dry-silenced.

The most important thing to avoid in these auctions is losing your cool.

Zhu Di said at this time, “Into your mother, you count yourself as an old man, and compare yourself with my old man.”

At this statement, someone faintly said, “Twenty-four thousand ……”

Zhu suddenly didn’t say anything.

Standing in the crowd, he grinned.

He had been in a bad mood for the past few days, and today he finally did something happy.

On the sidelines, Yiluoha, appropriately, whispered, “Admirable, admirable.”

Zhu was holding his belly and was more than happy.

And in that corner ……

The old servant beside the scholar whispered, “The hour is coming.”

The scholar coughed a few times, his haggard face showed a few regretful colors, and he mouthed, “Let’s go.”

Right in the middle of this crowd, under the waves of everyone’s eager bidding.

This scholar covered his heart with his hand, he seemed to have suffocated, so he hobbled, assisted by his old servant, and slowly headed towards the entrance of the venue.

But just as he was about to walk out of the meeting.

On the face, but Zhang Anshi full body cloak, difficult to wear a full armor, with Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking, as well as the back of a dozen or so guards, came in a hurry.

Their sudden appearance immediately caught the attention of some people, on the periphery of the venue.

These people come around in secret.

Waiting to notice that the arrival is An Nan Marquis Zhang Anshi, these people were instantly relieved, and one person went forward first and whispered, “An Nan Marquis …….”

“His Majesty is here?”

Zhang Anshi took one look at this man and immediately recognized him as a beloved forbidden guard at His Majesty’s side.

When His Majesty travels, it looks like there aren’t many people, but in reality, there are quite a lot of secret stakes in the inner guards, they’re just inconspicuous.

The man said, “Yes.”

“Into the fucking ……,” Zhang Anshi cursed.

And then realizing something, Zhang Anshi glared at this forbidden guard, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m scolding you!”

The forbidden guard smiled bitterly, “Yes.”

Zhang Anshi then said, “You gather people, careful precautions, remember, no one is allowed to enter or leave, let in a person …… to the time ……”

The forbidden guard hesitated for a moment, but it was obvious that he still understood that this person in front of him was His Majesty’s heart and soul.

He originally only listened to the orders of His Majesty alone, but seeing as Marquis Annan was like this, he hesitated a little and said, “I understand.”

At that moment, Zhang Anshi staggered with this forbidden guard, pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said, “Second brother, you hit the head.”

Zhu Yong glared his eyes bigger than copper bells, he was also wearing a full armor, and at that moment, he pressed the hilt of his sword and took the lead in rushing into the meeting place.

He came face to face, but nearly collided with the scholar.

The scribe stumbled and took a few steps back.

Zhu Yong said, “I’m sorry.”

That scholar, however, did not say anything, only looking at Zhu Yong’s attire, he immediately retreated into the crowd.

Many people had not yet noticed the difference, and the bidding was still hot.

At this time, Zhang Anshi held a bamboo whistle in his mouth and blew it fiercely.

With a beep, everyone looked in Zhang Anshi’s direction in surprise.

Zhang Anshi pressed the knife, vigilantly looking at the venue, mouth said: “Gentlemen …… the first seven days …… of the son of the Duke of Xie has been changed, I heard that his family has not yet found a cemetery to be buried, and the death of a person is a great … …I announce that today’s auction, temporarily canceled! Starting now, everyone stand in place!”

When Zhang Anshi said that, he pressed his sword and balked, glanced toward Zhang Yoking, who was following him, and lowered his voice, “Go in, find His Majesty first, and have His Majesty join us.”

Zhang Yoking said, “Oh, oh.”

Then, all at once, he piled into the meeting.

The dozens of guards at the back, on the other hand, directly spread out and blocked the doorway of this venue, dead.

Zhu Jin saw the situation, people are numb, he was hysterical for half a day, it is not easy to sell so many goods, how to suddenly stop?

But the person who said to stop was Zhang Anshi, what else could he do?

So he rushed out, so he also said, “I’m sorry gentlemen, I’m sorry ……… people die, people die ah …….”

…………

I went to get a shot to consolidate today, so I’ll be a little late with the second chapter today! I’ll try to post it within twenty minutes, so I hope everyone understands haha!
