Chapter 856: Descend

After a full month of snow, Bianjing gradually became clear, the plum blossoms withered, and the weather became warmer.

Such weather has restored some vitality to Bianjing City. Today, Bianjing is also deeply influenced by Quanzhou and Suzhou. It has built mud roads on some critical roads. Before that, in order to build mud roads, there was still controversy in the court. On the one hand, some people opposed it, but in the end, Yang Zhen came forward to finalize the reason. There are all in Suzhou and Hangzhou and Quanzhou, how can the capital be without it?

This reason is really flawless. It can be seen that this Lord Yang Zhen and Lord Yang are not just stinky stones in the pit. In a straightforward sentence, it turns the dirt road into a political issue. This is amazing. How can the capital be worse than Quanzhou? Is this still at the foot of the emperor?

So last year, the Ministry of Revenue allocated silver and led by the Ministry of Works to build the road. At that time, it was a mess and caused a lot of criticism. After all, it was necessary to demolish the houses when it was built. It was fine if the road was built. It was fine if the outer city was destroyed, but there were ordinary people there, and they were even scared and they could provide some compensation. There were many dignitaries in the inner city, so they had a stir. As a result, the Prime Minister spoke in person, which was considered to be a prudent.

Having said that, since there were mud roads, not only the streets have become much more beautiful, but there are more pedestrians. In the past, most of the dignitaries took sedan chairs, but now most of them have changed to carriages. In the past, it was because of the roads that were not bad, and the carriages were rushing and carrying sedan chairs was comfortable. Now that the roads are better, the carriages are fast and they are comfortable sitting inside. With convenience, many people's living habits have naturally changed.

The biggest advantage of this road is that after the rain and snow weather, the roads in the past are often muddy, and the trouser legs will become dirty when you step on it. But now this road is different. Although it appears wet, there is no mud and the feet are solid.

There are 16 mud roads leading to the inner city on the outer city with tic toe. The mud roads near Shenwu Gate are the most wide, two meters wide, very grand. As the air is warm today, the crowds here are gradually increasing. Near the edge of the mud road at the city gate, there is a small inn "Yupeng Store". The backyard of this small shop has more than a dozen guest houses, which are specially designed for scholars to live in when they come to Beijing for exams. It is still early to leave Ke, and the business is very light. There are four eight-immortal tables on the street. There are a elegant seat on the north side of the store, which is for guests to eat. There is a long counter east of the storefront, selling wine, meat and sporadic groceries. The guys are all from the village. When they go back for the New Year, there is only one shopkeeper He and a few small apprentices from far away towns in the store.

There is a wine flag hanging outside the shop called Shilixiang. In fact, most inns in the outer city are like this. They not only stay in accommodation, but also hire cars for others, sell wine and meat, and they are willing to make money that can be obtained.

Under the wine banner, a guy stood lazily with his hands in his arms, his eyes closed, and he turned a blind eye to the people flowing on the mud road.

At this moment, Herodor, a man riding a horse-like scholar, walked into the inn and fed him. The man raised his eyes and immediately laughed. He helped the scholar down and said, "Do you want to stay in the store or eat?"

The scholar got off the horse, put on the Lun scarf on his head, and smiled and said, "Feed from Malay, do you have any forage here?"

The guy's eyes tightened, and then he said angrily: "Is there no fodder in the hotel? The guest official underestimates people too much."

The scholar then led the horse to his servant, walked into the shop lazily, leaving a sentence: "Great, feed the horse 70% full."

The guy took the horse to the manger in the back garden, and the scholar entered the inn. The guy came again after a while and whispered: "Call command!"

The scholar said seriously: "Have you eaten this morning?" He then said: "What is the next sentence?"

The guy showed a little embarrassment on his face: "You girl, foodie."

The two of them spoke strange code words, and then they showed a little embarrassment, and then relaxed their vigilance. The guy had already picked up his fist and said, "I am a visitor to Zhu Er in the Hundred Houses of the Capital. How dare you ask me which line is on the platform?"

The scholar said seriously: "Wen Bizhou, the chief official of the Jinyi General Banner of Xiahongzhou Prefecture, has urgent official duties, so he comes to pay a visit to Mr. Chen."

Zhu Erhe nodded and said, "Come with me."

Zhu Er led Wen Bizhou to the elegant seat on the second floor, found a seat to ask Wen Bizhou to sit down, and then went out for a while, and then later, a person who looked like a shopkeeper came in, and the person who looked like a shopkeeper directly reported to his home: "Liu Kang, a hundred households in the outer city of the capital, why, what happened in Hongzhou?"

Wen Bizhou was still very cautious and said, "Does Liu Baihu have a waist-bar label?"

Liu Kang took out an iron waist sign from his sleeve. Wen Bizhou took it and looked at it. Then he laughed and said, "This matter is too important, so you must be careful. When everyone practices, the first thing the coach does is to be cautious. If you offend something, please ask Liu Baihu Haihan."

Liu Kang pulled a pear wooden chair and sat down, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, if it's inconvenient to say it, that's all. I'll ask Zhu Er to inform Mr. Chen."

Zhu Er had already reported the message, and there were only Wen Bizhou and Liu Kang in this elegant seat. Wen Bizhou smiled and said, "Since you have confirmed your identity, it's okay to say it. Something was found in Hongzhou, which is related to a sorcerer."

Wen Bizhou stopped when he was clicking, but Liu Kang was shocked. In fact, the Jinyiwei had already been fully open. We must pay attention to the whereabouts of the warlocks from all over the world. Not only that, the portraits of the warlocks were also spread all over the world, not only on Fujian Road, but also on Suhang, but also on the Jinyiwei was busy laying spies to search everywhere. This matter was too important. Although it was not said what the warlock had committed, Mr. Chen was most concerned about this matter and had to ask about it every day.

Now that there is news, the overall situation has been decided, Liu Kang couldn't help but ask: "How did you find out?"

Wen Bizhou smiled and said, "It's shameful to say that, in fact, I was originally targeting several warriors. Hongzhou is not a big mansion. There were not many noble people in the past, but these warriors were quite extraordinary, so they asked people to follow them. Unexpectedly, these warriors arrived at an inn and met one person. Then several warriors suddenly drew their swords to take action. The man seemed to be prepared and rushed out and shouted to kill. When the people we followed saw him, they took him to escape.

After searching this person, he found many Taoist instruments and a scripture book. Therefore, I was careful and took out the portraits issued. I found that although this person had cultivated his face, it was somewhat similar to the portraits. So I temporarily detained him and hid him in a hidden place. After torture, I realized that this person..." Wen Bizhou's eyes flashed and he showed an excitement: "This is where I searched without any effort when I found it."

Liu Kang couldn't help but be moved. The Jinyiwei was established and the news caused the biggest storm. In addition to the garrisons in various prefectures and counties, even the fast detectives from the capital were dispatched. With the network-style search, the news finally came out and things were easy to handle. Liu Kang said: "Mr. Chen is having a headache about this matter. Now that the news is available, it's great. *** Banner has made great contributions this time, and Mr. Chen must have looked at him differently."

Wen Bizhou smiled and said, "Where do you mean?"

The two exchanged greetings for a while and exchanged some experiences with each other. Liu Kang was the local snake in the capital, and he also knew a lot of news. He lowered his tone and said, "What can the warlock ask about?"

Wen Bizhou said: "There is still torture in Hongzhou. Because the matter is too big, I confirmed the identity of this person. I was afraid that Fei Ge would not be able to deliver the letters, so I immediately came to report the news."

Liu Kang said: "I'm afraid this sorcerer has something to do with the prince of the current dynasty."

Wen Bizhou said with emotion: "Did Liu Baihu hear any wind in the capital?"

Liu Kang said: "This sorcerer was once recommended by the prince. Later, he refined elixirs for His Majesty. There was the latest news in Quanzhou. Your Majesty is now seriously ill, and most of them... This matter is related to elixirs."

Wen Bizhou whispered: "King kills?"

Liu Kang raised his face: "Be careful!"

Wen Bizhou immediately sat down in a dangerous position and deliberately went to drink tea.

Liu Kang then smiled faintly and said, "No matter what, if we eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, if we have not cultivated His Highness and Mr. Chen, we will not have the present of you and me. No matter what happens outside, we will do our best to do our best."

Wen Bizhou said, "This is the reason."

As he was talking, Zhu Er came over and said hurriedly: "Mr. Chen asked Brother Wen to visit him as soon as possible."

Wen Bizhou immediately stood up and said goodbye to Liu Kang. He left the Yuepeng Inn. There were already many warriors wearing common clothes waiting in a carriage. It can be seen that Chen Ji attaches great importance to this matter. Wen Bizhou said nothing and got into the carriage directly. The carriage turned around and turned around. I don’t know how many streets and alleys. Even Wen Bizhou was a little dizzy, so he stopped in a remote courtyard. Someone bowed to invite Wen Bizhou to go in.

Wen Bizhou walked through the gatehouse, Yimen, and stopped in an attic. After someone informed him, Wen Bizhou stepped into the attic and bowed to him: "Wen Bizhou, the chief official of Hongzhou, met Mr. "

With the green lights rising in the attic, Chen Ji looked even thinner, his temples were white, and his thin hand was still rumbling through something, and said to a man in black clothes beside him: "Has the prince not been moving these days? Have you noticed something?"

The man in black clothes said, "It shouldn't be, but it's true that the prince has been staying in the door these days. Even Li Bangyan is sick."

Chen Jihe nodded, his eyes sharply said: "The news that Your Majesty is sick can only be delivered in the past two or three days. The prince is so cautious these days, most of the time he has learned the news in advance. Keep staring and be careful. The eunuchs in the East Palace have also watched them, don't be careless."

The man in black hugged his fist and went out.

Chen Jicai raised his head, Wen Er smiled and said, "Wen Bizhou? Is there news from Hongzhou? Come and sit down and talk."

Wen Bizhou found a chair and sat down, telling everything about Hongzhou.

When Chen Ji heard this, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were soothing and couldn't help but slamming his high-fives: "Okay, this is a great achievement. It's easy to handle this person. Without further ado, I'll give you dozens of guards to you. You can go back to Hongzhou as you like. Don't mention this sorcerer for the time being, and send it back to Quanzhou first."
