Chapter 23 Chapter 23

Seeing Tang Yanyan's face darken, Wu Wa'er hurriedly said to Lao Hei, "Don't worry, just sit down and tell us what happened from the beginning to the end." Lao Hei didn't dare to sit in front of them, he just told the story of himself pretending to be an official servant and using both soft and hard methods to force Shi Lingzi to interrogate him. That day on the boat, Wu Wa'er was full of grief, complained about her sad life experience, and was very afraid of that tough and unscrupulous old woman. Tang Yanyan felt that her experience was very similar to his own in the past, so she felt very sorry for her. She was extremely sympathetic, and she suddenly felt the same hatred as the enemy.

Unexpectedly, when the truth was revealed later, this young girl in the cardamom age turned out to be Yang Haoxin's concubine, and Zhe Ziyu somehow got to Beijing, and even made her arrangement useless. Her jealousy was greatly reduced, but she was more worried about the reunion between Yang Hao and Zhe Ziyu, because she knew that Yang Hao had never forgotten his love for Zhe Ziyu. Wu Wa'er gave birth to a lotus with a beautiful mouth, and then she talked about the whole process of herself and Yang Hao from acquaintance to fighting, from enemy to lover. In her words, how Yang Hao missed Yanyan, how he kept himself clean, and what he said It was vivid and touching. When Tang Yanyan was in "Ruxuefang", she had heard the girl say that preconceived ideas are the main thing, so there is no reason not to believe it.

Then Wu Wa'er talked about Yang Hao receiving her letter of breaking up, how sad and miserable, how drunk, and finally the two became married, Tang Yanyan has always been chasing Yang Hao, this is the first time When she heard that Yang Hao missed her so much, she was moved to tears, and hated her elder brother for being mean and shameless, forging letters to obstruct him, Wu Wa'er avoided the important and ignored the important things, and lightly entangled herself with the drunken Yang Hao's good deeds past. In the end, Wu Wa'er talked about the reunion of Zhe Ziyu and Yang Hao. She wanted to explain the reason why Zhe Ziyu hid in the "Meihu Cave", and then held the words "You are not kind, I am unrighteous, if you don't embarrass my family official People, I will not spoil your good deeds" mentality, unable to immediately tell Zhe Ziyu's one-handed plan, four or two tricks, causing a food shortage crisis in the Song Dynasty, so I can only say that I have been educated by Zhejia when I was young. Zhe Ziyu went to Beijing to make friends with the powerful, and it was inconvenient to show her face in public, so she moved into her "Meihu Cave".

It was an open secret that the feudal towns in various places, and even the small countries of Southern Tang and Wuyue, secretly had better relations with the courtiers of the Song Dynasty. Tang Yanyan had also heard of it, so he didn't feel suspicious.Wu Wa'er was careful with her company, flattered and flattered, and coaxed this Tang girl who had a clear love and hatred and no city affluence very much, and she also admitted her identity. Seeing the doll's petite appearance, Tang Yanyan didn't know her real age, nor did she think that she was two years older than himself. Hearing her call her sister one by one, she was cute and cute, and she really took care of her. meaning.After Tang Yanyan knew what had happened, she heard from Wu Wa'er that Yang Hao was infatuated with her, and it was because of her that he took on this overwhelming responsibility. He hoped to make this immortal achievement, rely on the King of Wei, and ask her to marry her. Wu'er, overjoyed in her heart, wanted to catch up with Yang Hao immediately and let him know that she loved him more than gold, but was stopped by Wu Wa'er.

Wu Wa'er's reason is: Yang Hao has Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi's people by his side, once they find out her identity, it will be quite unfavorable to Yang Hao's plan, it is better to wait until the time is right to meet him again.In addition, she is well-informed in Bianliang. I heard that the king of Jin and the prime minister have always been at odds. Both sides sent people to follow the king of Wei to the south. It's not as good as when Yang Hao is in the open and they are in the dark, helping the officials to complete this great achievement. If I meet him again at that time, my wife will definitely be more respected by the officials.Furthermore...

Wu Wa'er had a good reason, and actually listed seven of them in one breath. Tang Yanyan grew up among boys, and was cared for by her father, brother and elders. He was careless, and he had no idea when something happened, so Wu Wa'er persuaded him, and he was immediately moved, so he quietly stopped behind Yang Hao according to her words. Wu Wa'er invited Tang Yanyan into her bedroom to sleep on the same couch, and the two sisters mingled together all day long. The skills Wu Wa'er had cultivated over the years, how many scheming courtiers, treacherous and cunning merchants, had been captured by her several times. A word of flattery can make you feel ecstatic, not to mention a silly elder sister like Tang Yanyan, when they arrived in Sizhou City, the two of them had already made good friends, this is Wu Wa'er, who treats people like this ability.

Hearing that Wu Wa'er asked Lao Hei to start from the beginning, Tang Yanyan resisted the idea of ​​rushing to catch that anxious bastard immediately, and sat aside, and Lao Hei told the story from beginning to end.In fact, Lao Hei didn't mean to provoke Tang Yanyan on purpose, but he got all his information from Shi Lingzi. It is said that he and Yang Hao are cousins, so if he wants to visit a brothel, he will always bring Yang Hao's truth. In front of Yang Hao, Shi Lingzi boasted that he was well-versed in business, that there was no one or place he didn't know in the whole Sizhou city, but it was just a lie, at least he didn't know all the messengers of the Sizhou prefectural government, and he didn't know all about the old man. Hei believed what Hei said to be true, only knowing that the official wanted to harm the two smugglers, so he told everything he knew. In order not to cause trouble for himself, he explained everything in detail, and finally added a sentence wisely: "The two guest officials live in the Deyue Inn, but if the messenger fails to catch them, he can go to the Fengming Tower next to him. They just asked the villain to go to the Fengming Tower to play tricks." .”

When Lao Hei came back, he naturally reported to the two girls in detail. Wu Wa'er knew Yang Hao's mission to go to Jianghuai this time, and she also knew the methods of profiteers in various places. After hearing Lao Hei's words, she pondered for a moment, and smiled confidently: "Sister, don't be upset, the official is definitely not going to Fengming. It's fun-seeking." Tang Yanyan's straightforward temperament was only formed by the environment she lived in and the people she came into contact with since she was a child. After reacting, he nodded and said: "That's right, although Sizhou is a prosperous place, it is not as good as Kaifeng Eleven. He can travel among the four major leaders in Kaifeng without being in chaos..."

Speaking of this, I gave Wu Wa'er an angry look, and said with a smile: "Except for you, a little fox, how can you compare with the beauty of Sizhou, and the character of Bianliang? , inquire about the news, didn’t you say that among the brothels, the news is the most well-informed?” Speaking of this, her face changed, and she lost her voice: "Oh, it's not good. If this is the case, then if Lao Hei pretends to be an official and interrogates those gangsters, wouldn't he scare the snake and spoil his good deed?" Wu Wa'er said sweetly: "This is what the officials should have thought. It's just that...the officials were originally just rural people in Bazhou, and even after they were conscripted into the army, opened houses and built yamen, they still don't know much about the people in the market. Those The local snake has good eyes and ears, and it can penetrate everywhere. Officials improvise and visit privately in private. In fact, it is full of holes. With Fox Sheshu's ability, he can casually find out the time when your lord stays at the Deyue Inn, and it will definitely reveal its flaws by then."

Tang Yanyan patted his chest, and said with lingering fear, "It's not that I spoil his good deeds, or he will say that I will only do him a disservice." Wu Wa'er smiled and said: "Officials often have to rush back to the government office. It is not easy to hide this kind of communication from the local eyes and ears, but...it is also good to have officials to attract those local grain gentry. Those people know that he is disguised. If you dress up their news, you will never think that there is a group of people outside the officials who are also disguised to find their way. My sister can take this opportunity to let the officials know that my sister can also help him a lot."

Tang Yanyan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "You mean...we also pretend to be grain merchants from other places to lure snakes out of their holes?" Wu Wa'er smiled and nodded, "Exactly!" Tang Yanyan was gearing up and said, "I'm not ignorant when it comes to doing business. It's easy to pretend to be a grain merchant. It's just..." She hesitated for a while and said: "You and I are both young women, and we are not good at disguise. If a woman disguises herself as a man, she will immediately attract suspicion. If she simply shows up as a daughter, I am afraid it will be even more strange. This plan... I'm afraid it won't work." Wu Wa'er frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "This matter is not difficult, we just need to find someone to act as a grain merchant, and our sisters pretend to be his wives and concubines to give advice." Tang Yanyan asked back: "This fake person can't make outsiders, is there such a smart person around us?" The two looked at each other, and looked at Lao Hei at the same time. Lao Hei stood beside him and heard it clearly. When he became excited for a moment, his adrenaline surged more than two hundred times, his legs turned muscles in a "chug and chug", and his face twisted. It turned red. The two women in front of him, in his mind, are like fairies in the sky that cannot be profaned, and usually he dare not look directly at them, even though he wants to pretend to be a grain merchant, he is just pretending to be Feng Xuhuang with them, But if they heard them call out to the officials delicately, it would be... He would be willing to throw him into Hongze Lake to feed the bastard right away. Lao Hei immediately puffed up his chest, looked at the two housewives expectantly, and waited for their order. Tang Yanyan and Wu Wa'er glanced up and down, looked carefully for a long time, and couldn't help shaking their heads.It’s okay for Old Hei to be black. He is burly and stout, with a slightly hunched back, full of flesh, and a fierce look. He has a bit of taste in playing the role of tolerance, but he is very majestic in playing the role of the king of the mountain. Now, where does he look like a slick businessman who makes money with peace? At this moment, Zhang Niu'er came in lazily, and said weakly: "Madam, if we want to live in Sizhou for a few days, we have to go to the city to live. If we keep living on the boat like this, It has been parked for a long time, and it needs to attract the attention of interested people." When Tang Yanyan and Wu Wa'er saw him coming in, their eyes lit up immediately, Wu Wa'er got up gently and prettyly, walked over with her little hands behind her back, and slowly looked around Zhang Niu'er, looking at Zhang Niu'er inexplicably . Zhang Niuer was originally an outsider of "Meihu Cave", and "Meier Cave" was headed by Wu Wa'er, and the house was "Meihu Cave"'s own property, only the bodyguard guards formed their own team, The leader of these people is called the foreign manager, just like Zhao Jixiang from "Ruxuefang", who is in charge of guarding the courtyard and dealing with the government, local snakes, and colleagues. Zhang Niuer is one of the stewards here, who is responsible for welcoming, sending and answering the guests. This man has a short stature, is not good-looking, and has a somewhat philistine face with two mustaches. He belongs to the crowd and cannot be found. The kind, but he has been in charge of the "Meihu Cave" for these years, but he has practiced the ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts. There are many, each has its own customs and customs. The more Wu Wa'er watched, the more satisfied she became, she circled around him twice, and smiled back at Tang Yanyan: "Sister, what do you think of this person?" Tang Yanyan smiled and said: "Like, it looks so good, if you change his clothes, you won't be able to see any flaws." Zhang Niu'er was stunned and said, "Madam, Da Furen, what are you talking about?" Wu Wa'er chuckled, and said mischievously, "We're saying, it's time for you to change your clothes, officer." Old Hei slumped his shoulders and said, "Then what about me?" Tang Yanyan made a face at him, and said with a smile: "You, it's just right to be a housekeeper, um... Even the clothes are right, you don't need to change them!"
Yang Hao and Bi Su hurried to Deyue Inn to rent two rooms, and then made Bi Su rush back to the government office to secretly inform Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao, and the two stayed in the inn temporarily.The next day, that helper, Shi Lingzi, appeared and took them to and from some grain and oil shops, visited some grain gentry, and even introduced and invited a warehouse worker to eat flowers and wine. But these people only say that the grain reserves are insufficient, and they have nothing to do. As for whether some big grain merchants have grain in their hands, and whether they are willing to sell grain privately, they are not very clear. Look helpless.Yang Hao gradually realized something was wrong. The people that Shi Lingzi brought them to visit were all insignificant people. The whole Sizhou seemed to have formed a network of relationships that could not be pierced by needles or splashed by water. As an outsider, if he could not win the trust For people, it is difficult to see the door at all, and it is just a waste of time to go on like this. "It's not going to work like this, I'm afraid... we have already been identified by Shi Lingzi, he is leading us around in circles, we can't stay in Sizhou for a few days, if we can't find out what's going on, we have to continue going south." Yang Hao said worriedly: "Governments all over the world, but those who have selfishness, I'm afraid they have sent people to observe the behavior. If we make no progress in Sizhou, they will have enough courage to follow suit. By then, the fat ones will be These silverfish and rats in the local area, even if the imperial court buys all the grain, it will exhaust the treasury, and its vitality will be greatly damaged." Bi Su said helplessly: "Then what should I do? I have been grinding my teeth with those stinky grain gentry these few days, but I have endured and have not taken out their purses. If I get nothing, then I will lose a lot of money?" Yang Hao gritted his teeth and sneered: "He has his plan to get over the wall, and I have my ladder to get over the wall. If one plan fails, I have another plan. Let's see who can have the last laugh!"
