Chapter five hundred and seventy things happened for a reason

Zhao Yuan said that the last medicine was actually just a small tonic. However, during this period, the two of them had quietly left the Jinling City and returned to the West Mountain, and then patiently waited for the visit of the Heavenly Poison Envoy.

Time passed slowly, and this wait took a long time, and the Heavenly Poison Messenger never appeared.

Zhao Yuan and Tang Huai Shang were sitting in the yard at this moment, warming up a pot of good wine, drinking a few glasses, Tang Huaishan asked, "By the way, count the time, Wushuang is about to give birth, right?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Well, it's only about a month left. By the way, you are very knowledgeable, why don't you just ask you to give me a name?"

Tang Huaishan said in surprise: "I?"

Tang Huaishan never expected that he would actually name himself.

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, you are the child's great-grandfather. What's wrong with this elder's name? It's just that my surname was Zhao, but now I declare that my surname is Yang! So this child cannot have a surname for the time being! Or you can follow the surname Wushuang!"

Tang Huaishan said: "Follow the surname Wushuang?"

You should know that Cang Wushuang is following her mother's surname, and his mother is Tang Huaishan's daughter, but she also follows her mother's surname. In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, Cang Wushuang's mother should be named Tang, and Cang Wushuang should be named Zhu. Now Zhao Yuanrang's upcoming child is also named Cang, which is equivalent to four generations of people following their mother's surname!

In this world, this is very rare. The child is born with a father's surname, and it has always been like this.

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, the same was true when he discussed with Zhiqing when he was the first child. The surname was Zhao. If it was spread, it made people suspect that if the surname Yang, I had a different surname, so after thinking about it, I would finally ask the child's surname to be Liu. One day I will restore my original surname. At that time, whether the child's surname is Liu or Zhao, it's okay to see her happy! Anyway, they are all their own children, so this is not a big deal!"

Tang Huaishan was stunned, then laughed and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so open-minded, but if you think so, Lingzun Lingtang may not think so!"

Zhao Yuan said: "My father still understands this point, and the only thing is my mother. Fortunately, she obeys my father's will and can understand my situation now. This is not a problem for the time being. If it really doesn't work, why not do this. You, please help me think about the words behind this surname. How about it?"

The surname is a bit difficult to make, so let's use this word. At that time, you can take any surname. At least Zhao Yuan thought so. One of the big reasons why Tang Huaishan thought about his name was that he hoped to calm down his guilt. After all, his daughter was taken in by the leader of the Yinyue Sect and died young. Cang Wushuang was taken care of by the Yinyue Sect since childhood, so he did not take good care of his daughter or his granddaughter. So Tang Huaishan felt very guilty all the time!

Zhao Yuan now hopes to start by naming a name and let him accompany his great-grandchildren since childhood to make up for his original regrets.

Seeing this, Tang Huaishan thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me leave this matter to me. By the way, why did this Tian Poison Messeng suddenly stop moving?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I was thinking about this question at first, but after all, he shouldn't give up on this Qianqiu Cauldron here, so let's wait."

…………

On the other hand, Gu Yan escorted silver to the capital and set out from Jinling to the capital. The most convenient thing is water transportation and the Jinyiwei sign was the signboard, so the journey was smooth and he had arrived under the gate of the capital without much time.

"Finally arrived!"

Gu Yan felt relieved. Looking at the towering capital not far away, he sighed in his heart that the money was not much, and it was less, but it was more or less.

"Sir, the lower lord is a little strange."

A person next to Gu Yan said that this person has a position in Qianhu, named Hu Wen, who is only over forty years old and has been following Gu Yan for some years.

Gu Yan said: "Say whatever you have!"

Hu Wen looked at the silver behind him and said, "Sir, are all the 400,000 taels of silver sent to the court?"

Gu Yan cursed: "You are not nonsense. This person has arrived in the capital. Can you still transport all the silver back? Besides, the Jinyiwei should be Lord Lu's confidant. He has long reported to the capital. 400,000 taels, and a copper coin cannot be lost. Do you want to lose your head because of this silver?"

Hu Wen sighed and said, "But my subordinates think it's a pity to give so much money to the court for free!"

Gu Yan said: "There is no regrets, no regrets. Don't make a fool of yourself. I lost my life for the sake of money. This is not worth it. With my life here, what else can I worry about money? Why don't you hurry up and hurry up!"

Hu Wen felt a little regretful, but he knew that he would never touch the silver. So he waved his hand and the whole team set off again, heading towards the capital. After entering the capital, he pulled the box and headed straight to the Jinyiwei's yamen. You must know that what Zhao Yuan said to him was to transport the silver to the capital and hand it over to Lu Bing, so he naturally had to send it to the Jinyiwei's yamen, and only the Jinyiwei's yamen was the most suitable.

He brought in with silver in such a big cart, which naturally alarmed Lu Bing. Both of them were the commanders of the Jinyiwei, so Lu Bing came out and said hello and said politely: "Mr. Gu, what are the things you transported from your big box alley? Is it okay for you to transport them personally?"

Gu Yan said in a little puzzled manner: "Has Mr. Lu not received the news?"

Lu Bing said in confusion: "What news? I have received a lot of news all day long!"

Gu Yan thought for a while, but said, "It seems that this is true. I will not hide it from it. The subordinates are entrusted by someone to come to give away the money. Please see!"

He said, "Open the boxes!"

Lu Bing said that he had not received the news, and Gu Yan absolutely did not believe this. Although Lu Bing was in charge of the capital, how many of the things in the world could be hidden from the eyes of the Jinyiwei. He took his people away from Jinling and set out towards the capital. This news began to be sent to the capital when he stepped out of the Jinling gate. Lu Bing might not know as a mediator? On the other hand, it is estimated that it will take not long before he will know what he was escorting, and among the Jinyiwei soldiers who were with him, how many of the Jinyiwei soldiers in the capital were the Jinyiwei's eyeliners. Although he couldn't tell, he also knew that his purpose should have been delivered to the capital very early. The reason why Lu Bing said he didn't know was just a polite statement!

The box opened immediately, revealing the white silver inside!

Lu Bing said in surprise: "Yinzi? Lord Gu, are you?"

Gu Yan bowed and said, "The court has been fighting with Japanese pirates for many years, so the national treasury is very consumed. The aspiring people in Jinling are thinking about the hard work of the soldiers, so they specially raised 400,000 taels of silver and sent it by our official to thank the soldiers for their hard work to fight the enemy and protect the safety of our people."

Lu Bing said: "Four hundred thousand taels, this is not a small amount. I wonder if Lord Gu has a list of those ambitious people? If so, the court will also be able to commend them, so that those who are ambitious in the world can take them as an example!"

Gu Yan shook his head and said, "No, there is actually no need for any roster. Everyone serves the country and shares the worries for the king. Donating silver is not to seek the commendation of the court. Therefore, there was no roster at the beginning, but in this case, the Bai family donated the most, which was nearly 300,000 taels!"

Although the 400,000 taels of silver were all from the Bai family, Gu Yan did not tell the truth. In fact, he knew very well that Lu Bing knew how the silver came about. In front of so many people, of course he had to have a high-sounding reason to make everyone believe that the silver was not obtained by other means. Moreover, the Bai family and the people in Jinling City donated voluntarily. In this way, the court could use this to commend the Bai family and then use this as an opportunity to let the rich people in the world donate silver simply.

Lu Bing sighed: "So that's the case, then I will thank the people of Jinling City. Come and invite me inside!"

The two entered the house, and the money was collected and sent to the palace in the afternoon of the same day. After hearing this, Zhu Houcong immediately summoned Gu Yan and said a lot of commendations, which made Gu Yan feel very happy.

When he returned to his residence in the evening, Gu Yan asked someone to prepare food and drink, and called Hu Wen to drink with him. After drinking a little, Gu Yan said, "Do you know who I saw this afternoon?"

Hu Wen thought for a while and said, "Is it the Lord?"

Gu Yan laughed and said, "It's true that you are the master. I didn't expect you to have some vision!"

Hu Wen said: "Of course, we didn't meet this commander Lu, nor did we see you so happy, so the subordinate dared to guess that he must have seen the emperor!"

Gu Yan said: "Yes, I did see the emperor. The emperor was very happy about my escort of the silver. He also said that he would commend me well in the morning court!"

Hu Wen said: "I commend you, but you are already the commander in Jinling. Do you want to transfer back to Beijing?"

"Transfer back to the capital?"

Gu Yan repeated it, then spitted on the ground, saying, "Registered back to the capital? I am the commander? This Lu Bing is also the commander. It seems that he has to live for at least a few decades. Even if the court wants me to be the commander of the Jinyiwei in the capital, it doesn't know how long it will take. Thinking about it, it's better to go back to Jinling. It's better to be a free job, and you don't have to take care of the affairs or investigate the case. Just be a cultivation and rest, and you'll be a retirement."

Hu Wen said: "What the lord said is very good, but since that's the case, why should you travel thousands of miles to the capital to send money? You can do it naturally. Can you say that lord doesn't believe lord?"

Gu Yan glanced at Hu Wen and said, "How many years have you been with me?"

Hu Wen thought for a while and said, "It's almost fifteen years!"

Gu Yan said a little dissatisfied: "It's been fifteen years, but I still haven't learned to think about the truth!"

Hu Wen said in confusion: "I don't know what the principles are said by the adults. I really don't understand them. Please tell me clearly?"

Gu Yan sighed and said, "Well, fortunately, you guy stayed in Jinling with me and waited for death all day long. It would be safe and sound. If you guy really stayed in the capital, you have the strength of your eyesight. Humph, it would be good to be a general flag, and you still have a thousand households? I guess you don't know how you died!"

Hu Wen smiled and said, "That's right, that's it all depends on the cultivation of adults, but what he said before, what does this mean?"

Gu Yan asked: "Do you know why the Bai family paid the 400,000 taels of silver?"

Hu Wen said: "How can this subordinate know? Not what the adults said?"

Gu Yan pursed his lips and said, "I have more or less friendship with the Bai family. The Bai family has been so many times. When have you seen them take out the silver? This time, it took 400,000 taels. Even the Bai family felt so distressed. So when I was escorting the silver to the capital, I also sent someone to check it. Only after this investigation did I know that the reason why the Bai family is like this was because Bai Qiyun's son Bai Chenxi was poisoned. The only person who could detoxify him was to ask the official to go and get the silver. I don't know what this person's identity is now, but at least it can be confirmed that the Bai family was not willing to hand over the silver!"

Hu Wen was puzzled: "The antidote to the detoxification actually costs 400,000 taels, which is considered a blackmail. Why didn't the Bai family report to the official?"

Gu Yan snorted lightly and said, "Report to the official? Does he dare to the Bai family? He will not say that the person who extorted their money for the time being may be Lord Lu's confidant. If others are unhappy, they will leave! Then I ask you, where will they go to find someone? How can Bai Chenxi's poison be solved? If he cannot be relieved, Bai Chenxi is just a dead end. It would be fine if he is just an ordinary disciple of the Bai family, but he is Bai Qiyun's son. Bai Qiyun's eldest son died a few years ago. Now his only hope is to put it on Bai Chenxi. How dare he let his son's life be threatened? So he honestly handed over the money and exchanged his son's life for his life. And according to their current business in the Bai family, it is not difficult to earn back the 400,000 taels."

Hu Wen suddenly realized his mind and said, "I never expected that there was a reason for this. It was because the adults saw it clearly. I felt ashamed of myself!"

Gu Yan said: "Stop flattering everywhere. Since I can find out the matter, how could I hide it from Lord Lu? So the money must be shipped to the capital safely no matter what. 400,000 taels are 400,000 taels. Who doesn't want to take so much money and be happy, but the key is that you still have to spend it! So, it's not your own, so don't worry about it. It's useless to think about it, it's useless!"
