The buddy returned to the inn with the rice bag and was stopped by the shopkeeper before he could send it to the kitchen.
“How’s it outside?”
“I heard that there was a fight in the inner city…”
The shopkeeper shuddered in fright, and immediately went to close the door in a panic.
The guy hurriedly finished the second half of the sentence: “It’s Jin Yiwei and the soldiers who patrolled the city. It was the group of people who blocked the city yesterday. I don’t know what the specific situation is. I only heard that the fight was particularly fierce, no At the stop, soldiers rushed to the inner city. The two doctors of the North Street Shanyaotang were taken away by the soldiers, saying that they would save people.”
The shopkeeper of the inn did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more nervous.
“How can this be good, hey.”
He was uneasy, and the woman next to him persuaded: “The city gates are blocked, and you can’t get out. It’s useless to worry about it. It’s better to buy some food while the rice shop is still open. Just in case, it can last longer than others.”
“What do you know? If the capital is completely chaotic, no matter how much property and rice are hidden in the house, it will eventually be robbed. I am afraid that neither of you nor my lives will be saved…”
The shopkeeper only cursed, then sighed.
The woman couldn’t get used to his wretched look, so she turned her head and left.
“Look, what a woman’s opinion is like.”
The man chuckled dryly. He didn’t agree with the shopkeeper. He wanted to stop buying because he was afraid of being robbed of food. What should I do when there is no food? There are still so many guests in the inn who haven’t left, even if the door is closed, it can’t hold up the noise inside.
As he was talking, suddenly a group of wicked men came outside.
“The shopkeeper, stay in the shop.”
The man was pushed to the front by the shopkeeper and replied tremblingly: “A few distinguished customers, the shop is already full.”
“What, nothing here?!”
The leading man rolled his eyes and squeezed over and picked up the shopkeeper.
The big slap of the fan slapped on the counter, and he grinned and said: “How do I think you still have an empty house? Are your wood sheds and kitchens also full of people?”
“No, no. But those places are messy and can’t live in people…”
“Who said that we are going to live, let you and the guy in the store go to the wood room and move the room out to the uncle!”
The shopkeeper was indifferent, and tremblingly defended: “But the house we live in has no windows, and…”
Except for the furnishings, it is not much better than the wood house.
The shopkeeper of this inn is very stingy and treats himself harshly. Not to mention the guys in the shop, they can only live in the broken house next to the stable. Obviously the other party will not be satisfied with this kind of house.
“Aren’t there customers in your store, tell them to change rooms!”
“How does this work?” The shopkeeper said, looking out the door.
Following him, he was thrown heavily to the ground, grinning in pain.
“There are officers and soldiers outside, how can you…”
“They are not outside the door, this inn is so remote, even if you shout loudly, you still have to have a cup of tea.” The evil man looked at the inn shopkeeper and laughed, “Besides, we are staying in the store. What can the government say if you don’t give me money?”
He raised his fist and looked threateningly at the people in the inn.
Some residents on the second floor heard the noise and came out to check. When they met the gazes of the evil guys, they flinched.
The evil man headed slammed his mouth and motioned to his companions to grab one and forcibly change the house.
The person behind him nodded knowingly and kicked the ground up the stairs.
The layout of the inn is almost the same, the place with good lighting and ventilation is limited, and you can find the upper room at a glance.
“Boom boom boom.”
The door was beaten to the sky, and looking at the closed door, the evil man was about to kick his feet, and suddenly the door opened.
Then an invisible force pushed them back one after another involuntarily. The people in the front endured a lot of force, and the people behind were completely suppressed by their peers and couldn’t figure out what happened.
A bunch of people rolled back down the stairs like a string of zongzi.
The evil man holding the shopkeeper’s collar changed his expression and directly drew out the short knife hidden in his waist.
Upstairs, Lu Yan opened the door carefully and looked at the door next door with complex expressions. I thought that the luck of these people was too bad. There were about four or five rooms in the inn, where they didn’t knock, so why did they have to find Master Meng?
At this moment, Moli walked out of the door.
Lu Yan hesitated and asked in a low voice: “The noise is too loud, will it attract people from the Taijing Mansion?”
“You are right, so it’s me.”
Doctor Mo glanced at the second prince, then walked to the side of the stairs.
Lu Yan: “…”
Suddenly I felt that one hundred taels of silver would ask the national teacher to kill the king, oh no, the price of the king was indeed a bit low. Meng Guoshi agreed probably because it was a major event, not because of the money.
Master Meng Guoshi didn’t even look at this kind of rogue on the roadside who couldn’t get the money. It’s not that big business doesn’t want to take over, can’t make a sensation in the world, what’s the point of playing!
The second prince’s misunderstanding of Meng Qi intensified, and Meng Guoshi had no idea.
Meng Qi listened carefully to the movement outside. He wanted to go out, but the doctor didn’t allow it.
“It’s just a small matter.” Doctor Mo said very lightly, his eyelashes drooping slightly, as if thinking about something.
When Meng Qi shook his mind, the doctor went out.
No, I haven’t said the style of the water tank yet!
Meng Qi began to wonder, the doctor seemed a little unhappy just now? Don’t like water tanks?
However, there are regulations in the capital that digging indiscriminately is not allowed. Even if a well is drilled, it must be reported to the government, including the location and size of the well. Only after getting permission to find someone to dig the well, the government has to send an official and an official to check it. If it does not match the reported position, it will be convicted.
This is the case for ordinary people’s homes, as are the houses of wealthy households and officials.
Even if it is one’s own land and repairing one’s own garden, the government has to come and explore.
On the one hand, it is to prevent rebels from secretly digging tunnels, on the other hand, it is for the safety of the capital itself. Thousands of years ago, Taijing used to build gardens outside the city because of the wealthy family, cut off the rivers and streams to make the landscape of his home When the heavy rain suddenly arrived, the flood could not be discharged through the river, and it submerged half of Taijing.
Later, a wealthy family bought half of the alley and repaired it extensively, which caused the entire street to sink.
Although Meng Qi can rely on martial arts and does not need craftsmen to find a suitable place to dig a pond, it is better not to dig this kind of small pond.
Although you can buy a three-entry yard with one hundred taels of silver in Qi Dynasty and 70 taels of silver in Chu Dynasty, this is the lowest price. Not only is the location of the house relatively remote, the area is also relatively small, and there is no shadow photo when entering
Wall, the backyard can only be planted with a few trees at most. Even if you dig a pond, the area of the pond is not much larger than the water tank unless you demolish the house.
Or lift all the floor of the house and turn it into a “pond” with a roof?
This is more difficult than simply digging a pond…
Meng Qi leaned back on the chair, and he seemed to feel helpless when he was an official in the Chu Dynasty many years ago.
As the dragon vein of Shangyun Mountain, it clearly encompasses nineteen peaks, as much land as it needs, but when it comes to the capital, it can only live in a peaceful place in the house given by the emperor.
Now even the house is gone.
Although it is good to live in deep mountains and dense forests, Taijing is also very prosperous.
Hey, there are thousands of miles of land, but there are no tiles on it. It is estimated that there are only dragon veins!
Meng Qi began to recall where he had hidden money. Except for the plaque in the imperial palace, the silver on the top of the city gate seemed to be the former National Teacher’s Mansion and the Observatory, as for the Shangshu Mansion and General Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, etc. You have to check whether these mansions have been damaged, and who they belong to now.
Meng Qi quietly took out two silver cakes from his arms.
This was when he was stealing clothes in the middle of the night, when he accidentally discovered that the house he knew and lived with his old friend, and the things he had hidden back then were not found.
The two pieces together are weighed together, about six taels of silver.
“Boom.”
There was a loud noise downstairs.
Meng Qi was taken aback, stuffed the silver cake back, and walked to the window in three steps and two steps.
I saw smoke and dust flying, and the roof tiles on the street side fell to the ground, and the people ran around in horror.
The figure flashed, and Mo Lei jumped up to the second floor window.
Meng Qi quickly opened the window with eyes and hands, just to greet people in.
Only such a seam, there is a strong smell of gunpowder influx.
“What’s the matter?”
“The group of people have gunpowder on them, and it may be something from Pilitang again.” Mo Li frowned.
A few blocks away, the Janissaries and Yamen who heard the noise rushed here.
At this time, Lu Yan hurriedly knocked on the door outside, because Meng Qi didn’t lock the door and he accidentally fell in.
Seeing the second prince, Mo Li couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. It was just because he said that he would not cause too much movement when he went, but the result was the opposite.
“Have we been discovered? How could ordinary land ruffians carry gunpowder?”
“… Ordinary land ruffians can’t, but Jianghu people are not necessarily.” Moli has experienced this kind of thing several times, and feels from the heart that there is no conspiracy in it, it may be his own bad luck, the other party’s bad luck. Then rushed together.
“Just a few small things, why did they use gunpowder?” Meng Qi couldn’t understand.
Moli was silent for a while, and then said: “He threw a lot of hidden weapons and was caught. Then he lost his eyes and lost his head, and smashed out the black wooden tube. I don’t know. What is it? I was afraid that the organ that could eject the poisonous needle accidentally injured the people, so I used the internal force to pull the hidden weapon and knocked the wooden tube to the side. As a result, the wooden tube shattered and rolled out a dozen black objects.”
That is the most famous Lei Zhenzi in Pilitang.
Moli didn’t know him at first, but after leaving Zhushan County, he had already met twice, immediately wrapped the horrible thing with his inner strength, and threw it directly out of the inn, into the air.
Fortunately, no one was injured except for shattering and falling tiles.
“Do you know where they came from?” Meng Qi could only hear that the accents of these evil men were not from the North.
“I have never signed up.” Moli added, “I clicked on the acupuncture points and lay under the inn.”
“The Guards are here! What should I do?”
The second prince is already anxious to climb the window.
