Chapter 584 Gifts
The big man with a stingy face stretched his neck and looked at the sign, bowed his hand, and said, "I appreciate it because the official is worthy of it. No matter how big the news is, it is five taels."
Dapian took out a handful of silver from his arms, one tael and one ingot, and at least seven or eight taels.
The man with a numb face glanced at the silver, but did not reach out to pick it up, and asked, "Please ask."
......
Half an hour later, Da Ping and Fangfei informed Xiao Ren and Shen Tong of the information they had found.
There are two large yards in that alley, and a total of fifteen families lived in. Not long ago, someone bought these two yards. Each tenant who originally lived here received five taels of silver and moved out happily.
Since then, people have moved in every few days, but the people who moved in have not come out. Every two or three days, two people will come out to buy some food, rice, oil and salt. The people who come out to buy things are fixed, and they are the ones every time.
Dabing said: "We are not the first to inquire. Just the day before yesterday, the Feiyuwei people also went to ask."
When Chen Tong came to the capital, he found out that there was only one sect like the True Immortal Sect in the capital. The one who came out two years ago was called the Huang Pozi Sect. Those who believed in the religion were all old wives who pretended to be gods and were banned by the government soon after. The True Immortal Sect acted in a low-key manner. Although some believers, there were no splashes in the capital.
The True Immortal Sect can attract the attention of Feiyuwei because of the letter Lao Anchanghou to Li Guanzhong.
Xiao Ren said: "Pret Jiang and Fangfei met the True Immortal Sect collecting mules and horses everywhere on the road. It seems that they have a lot of plans."
At this critical moment, a large number of ordinary religious people came to the capital, and they had a lot of plans.
News from Li Guanzhong was also sent here soon. In places like the Dao Circle, the True Immortal Sect is less than twenty places in the capital, and most of them are in downtowns. The more crowded the place, the less attention it will be.
Chen Tong asked Li Guanzhong: "Duke Ding Guo knows about this?"
Li Guanzhong smiled: "There is nothing to hide from Duke Ding except Yanbei and Northwest."
The implication is that it is the same whether he says it or not. In addition to the Longhu Guard in the south, the Xiao family of Dingguo Mansion also has their own spies in northern Zhili.
Li Guanzhong said again: "I heard from my father that Duke Ding sent Xiaoliu to the Prince of Yanbei. He would be more skillful than anyone who can play with the eggs."
you do not say.
The two youngest males in the Xiao family were given to the King of Qin and the other to the King of Yanbei County.
Moreover, the way of sending children to others is particularly beautiful, making people unable to treat them as hostages.
Xiao Ren was raised by the King of Qin and had a father-son relationship. The prince of Yanbei was surrounded by the old Marquis of Anchang. The eldest son of the old Marquis of Anchang, Li Guanying, and Duke Dingguo Xiao Changdun were friends of the eighth birthdays. The reason why the old Marquis of Anchang went to Yanbei was that Xiao Liu made a lot of efforts.
Chen Tong said: "Xiao Chai is living a good life in Yanbei, and Ling Zun regards him as his grandson."
At the same time, Xiao Changdun was also talking to his eldest son Xiao Yi in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
Xiao Yi said: "The exact news is that Xiaoqi has indeed come to the capital and lives in Yangliu Hutong. Miss Chen has also come. Li Guanzhong has been there twice."
A trace of melancholy flashed in Xiao Changdun's eyes. Xiao Ren came to the capital, but he had never even entered the gate of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.
"Father, will Xiaoqi come to stand for the King of Qin? The King of Qin has already captured Songzhou, and Jiao Shengqi stayed behind closed doors. In my opinion, Han Guang and Yan Hua's base camp may not be guaranteed. If we attack Shunde Prefecture at this time, we will have a little more chance of winning."
Xiao Changdun pondered without saying a word. After a long time, he said, "Your Majesty's meaning is to lure Yang Jincheng into Beijing and eliminate the roots."
Xiao Yi sneered: "His vision is so narrow. The rebels are about to attack the capital, but he is thinking of killing all the Yang family first. He cares about the throne more than the Great Qi in Italy."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Changdun rebuked, "Compared with that pseudo-emperor, the emperor is the real royal bloodline and the legitimate successor of the throne. Do you want him to give the dragon throne to the King of Qin?"
"Father, Xiaoqi is under the command of the King of Qin. Do you want to see Xiaoqi turn against us one day?"
"He has long turned against us!" Xiao Changdun yelled.
Xiao Yi was speechless, lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiao Changdun sighed and said, "Let Ama go and see Miss Chen. No matter what, it will be considered a meeting."
Xiao Yi was even more speechless.
When Fangfei came back from the street, she brought back a lot of things. Fangfei smiled and said, "It was given to you by Mr. Ma for the girl."
Chen Tong laughed, pulled Xiao Ren to see it, and said, "Your uncle sent it to you."
Xiao Ren's face was tense tightly, and his neck twisted to the side, saying that he refused to go and see.
Chen Tong wanted to tease him, so he said, "If you don't want it, I'll let everyone break up."
"Do you tell me, didn't you say it was for you? You can make the decision on your things." Xiao Ren said with his neck thorn.
Chen Tong reached out to pull his neck, Xiao Ren's face turned red, and he said, "They are all watching, don't."
"If you turn your neck around, I won't turn it around." Chen Tong said.
Xiao Ren had no choice but to twist his neck, so that those things would be in front of him.
Chen Tong said: "There are excellent Jinchuang medicine and slag medicine, as well as human skin masks. The rest are osmanthus-flavored snacks. You only like this here. What do you think you should do?"
Xiao Ren bit his lip without saying a word. Chen Tong asked Fangfei to take all the medicine and human skin masks into her room, and asked Xiao Lizi to take the snacks to the kitchen. Xiao Ren was expressionless throughout the whole process, as if these had nothing to do with him.
During dinner, Xiao Ren went to Chen Tong to have dinner together. After sitting down, he looked at the table. There was nothing but the snacks sent by Ama.
"Just eat this?" Xiao Ren asked.
"Yes." Chen Tong said.
"What about me?" Xiao Ren said unwillingly.
Chen Tong looked at him and said, "Don't you want to eat with me?"
Xiao Ren held a stern face, picked up a piece of osmanthus crisps and took a bite, with disgusted face.
Chen Tong pretended not to see it. Xiao Ren ate one piece after another, and ate a plate of osmanthus crisps cleanly. Seeing Chen Tong taking a piece of osmanthus cake and eating it in a small stutter, it seemed like he didn't like it. He simply snatched it and stuffed it into his mouth, saying to Chen Tong: "If you don't like it, don't eat it, I'll take you out to eat it."
After saying that, he pulled Chen Tong out.
It was getting dark, Fangfei opened the back door, and Ama quickly came out of the shadow of the tree and asked, "What did Master Qi say?"
Fangfei laughed and said, "Young Master Qi said nothing, but just ate all the plates of osmanthus crisps, and snatched the girl's piece to eat."
"Okay, okay," Ama was overjoyed and took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it to Fangfei, "Good girl, take this to buy candy."
Fangfei took it openly, and when she went back, she found that there was a fifty tael silver note inside.
Fangfei was so scared that she quickly handed the silver note to Chen Tong: "I thought it was just a small amount of money, but I didn't expect so much."
