219 Beyond the trap of Da Ming's wisdom
Xing'an changed his dress, put on a beard, and wore a master's hat. Fan Liang was wearing a strong suit, and he hid dozens of flying knives in his soft armor. He knew that this was a Hongmen banquet, and Xing'an needed an excuse to use a killer move against Guangdong merchants. He was not afraid of being in danger, but worried about Bai Minghe, a person who did not have any skills.
However, Xing'an, Fan Liang didn't even know whether he could defeat Xing'an, a big eunuch who could hardly fight with others, but had no less than that of a master in the big country.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a dangerous move, but in the eyes of Xing'an who knows Xing'an, everything in control is not a danger.
Taking action against businessmen out of thin air will make the hearts of the people feel cold and will also cause unnecessary mutiny from officials.
Among the eight people behind him, Bai Hong was wearing the clothes of a young follower, and the poison master dressed as a housekeeper, and the other six people were all in the housekeeper's uniform. However, under the housekeeper's uniform, there were six wild beasts hidden. Their kung fu is definitely not as high as those of Hua Wuxue, but the experience of protecting important personnel is far higher than that of ordinary warriors.
When he entered the main hall, Fang Shu asked Bai Minghe to sit down and salute him respectfully.
"Mr. Bai, the little old man is blind and dares not ask for forgiveness. He only asks Lord Bai's tens of thousands of merchants to live a way out. The little old man kowtowed to Bai Minghe here." Fang Shu's expression was a bit more tragic.
Bai Minghe sighed in his heart, "You are loyal servant, but unfortunately he chose the wrong master."
But his face was silent: "If I just kneel down, I can stop pursuing it, then this kneeling would be too light."
"The little old man is willing to donate all his property, even the little old man himself is willing to work as an old worker."
"What's this? You are kind-hearted and exchange your own everything for your subordinates, and there are all peace in the Guangzhou city. Perhaps you have something else in your heart, and you have not gained benefits out of thin air in the world, and you will never make a waste of effort. With your wealth, you will take the people around you and fly away, even if you are in vain, you can maintain a hundred years of wealth."
Bai Minghe's tone made the sweat fall on Fang Shu's forehead.
This is not pretending, but real nervousness. Originally, when his granddaughter mentioned that Bai Minghe was a man of heaven and earth, he still didn't believe it. He might have blocked the temptation of wealth. He was the best among people without exception.
Fang Shu believes that Bai Minghe is very clear about how much wealth he has.
If gold is calculated by the habit of the white-name crane, if it is calculated by stone, his total net worth is at least 350 stones. Adding land, shops, inventory, etc., it is not an exaggeration to be close to 500 stones.
Another reason for sweating is that Fang Shu felt that he was wrong, and gave so much but made a request for justice. Bai Minghe was fascinated by wealth. But Bai Minghe was very sober.
Bai Minghexin said: Old man, you are afraid that you have been dealing with Guangdong officials with money for too long, and you only have money in your eyes.
When she was embarrassed, a 28-year-old woman in a light green dress walked in. The dress and her dress made Bai Minghe almost think that it was Wan Xueer. It was not until she saw her face that she realized that this was someone else. This face cannot be compared with Wan Xueer, but it has a unique elegance.
Noting the look of Bai Minghe's eyes when he looked at him, Fang Qin believed that he had already fallen into the eye of Bai Minghe.
The poem is already famous in Guangzhou, with a plain skirt splashing ink, and has become one of the most delicious long skirts in Guangzhou City. Fang Qin smiled slightly on her face, and after saying: "Master Bai, little girl Fang Qin, the banquet is ready."
"Okay. Come to the banquet!" Bai Minghe said, if you can stay here for a while, you will be safe if you can stay here early.
What surprised Bai Minghe was that Fang Qin took the initiative to stand beside him. Fang Shu said at this time: "My granddaughter is okay to do some rough work, but naturally he is not as cute as Lord Bai. It is quite reasonable to serve tea and water." When it comes to this, Bai Minghe is not easy to drive people away.
But the fragrance on Fang Qin's body made Bai Minghe uneasy.
Although women in the Ming Dynasty would use fragrant powder and carry sachets on their bodies, the fragrance was a bit strange.
After sitting on the mat, Bai Minghe picked up the very precious glass cup in the Ming Dynasty and said, "I like the pure white porcelain cup on the inner wall. I'd better ask Miss Qin to change one for me."
"Yes!" Fang Qin had no reason to refuse for a request to change the cup.
After Fang Qin left Bai Minghe, Bai Minghe immediately asked the poison master in a low voice: "The fragrance on her body is very strange."
"That is a mixture of realgar, bay leaves, agarwood and three other types. The taste should be about 70% of realgar, mainly used to drive away mosquitoes. Such ingredients are very common in the south, especially in Guangxi." The master also answered the white-famous crane in a low voice.
Finally, the poison expert added: "Realia ought not to heat it, it is toxic."
Bai Minghe nodded slightly. He understood that if he heated it, he would definitely smell in the house, and he could not hide it from this master who used poison.
In this room, there is more of a light sandalwood smell, and the realgar taste is not something that can be suppressed by a light sandalwood.
Soon, the cup was changed and the dishes started to be served. Since it was on the beach, most of them were treasures, including crabs larger than coconuts, and shrimps three inches long. Naturally, there were some treasures.
"Please, Lord Bai!"
Bai Minghe became the highest-ranking person here. If he didn't move his chopsticks, others would not move.
The white-known crane picked up a shrimp and placed it on his plate. Fang Qin immediately washed his hands with the water bowl he had prepared long ago, and helped the white-known crane peel the shrimp and put it in the small plate of the white-known crane.
Fan Liang and Xing'an also have maids helping each other. Fan Liang likes to do it by himself. Xing'an acts as a master, so he naturally has to do it by himself. This way he appears to be an ordinary person. He is from the north, and the aquatic products in the south are really unique, especially this big crab, which cannot be seen even in the palace.
To get the tools, Xing'an is dealing with the huge crab claws with fun.
Bai Minghe took a few bites and said with a smile: "With my official salary, such a meal may take two or three months to not eat or drink. I have thanked you here."
As soon as Bai Minghe opened his mouth, Xing'an's hand obviously stopped. Bai Minghe is really a character, is he doing a show or is he really asking questions?
Fang Shu filled a glass of wine for the white-famous crane and said with a smile: "What the adults said is that our businessmen are lowly. They are rich and well-dressed, which makes the parents and officials who work hard for the people and the court feel awkward. Although many adults have noble identities, can they really support their families with small salaries?"
Fang Shuxin said that she would die today anyway. Some words were better than saying them in her heart.
"Do you think that the general Hu Bu is right?" Bai Minghe's words were quite dangerous. If Xing'an didn't understand Bai Minghe, if someone dared to say such words, he would be sent to prison directly.
Fang Shu smiled indifferently: "Whether there is anything wrong, it is naturally the court rules that have the final say. The young man fought to death, but he didn't say anything. Compared with other provinces, the officials who oppressed the people in Guangdong are probably not even a fraction of the money. The salaries of officials are not enough to support their families. Why are they just power and wealth? What do you think? "
"Well said it, I agree with you." Bai Minghe picked up the cup: "I wish you this cup to speak frankly!"
"I'll kill the old man."
Fang Shu replied with a bow, but he was secretly surprised. Does Bai Minghe really think what he said is correct?
Bai Minghe thought in his heart that Xing'an was sitting here and let him listen to the real voices of the people. Fang Shu dared to say it, just let Xing'an listen more, and it doesn't matter how much it can reach Long Live's ears. What is important is to lay a foundation for his future advice.
After a haha, he signaled everyone to eat more, and said to Fang Qin: "Miss Fang doesn't have to belittle yourself. You are the owner of this place. Please use your chopsticks, please!" Fang Qin thanked him, and there were maids who also peeled shrimps for Fang Qin, as well as the crab meat taken out, and other seafood.
After three rounds of wine, the deliciousness on the table was reduced by half.
Bai Minghe then continued to speak.
"Old Fang thought that in what kind of environment, the proportion of good officials could be increased. Of course, it is impossible to be all good officials. If Mr. Fang wants to answer that the saint's words can make all good officials all good officials, then don't speak up, that's a fool. Even the old man Zhu Xi who likes to tear off the ashes is just talking about the saint's words and is not doing anything glorious."
Bai Minghe's words scared Fan Liang. The crab shell in his hand fell directly on the plate.
Xing'an was also shocked by Bai Minghe's words, so his heart almost stopped beating.
With the instruction that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty wanted to promote Confucianism, officials are now orthodox by the Analects of Confucius, which Zhu Xi annotated, and the eight-legged article is tested. The saying of Bai Minghe is not too much to be beaten to death by sticks.
Fang Shu was even more shocked. Bai Minghe was an official who wrote a essay on the eight-legged essay, and he could say such things.
Fang Qin stared at Bai Minghe with beautiful eyes. She had already said through the story of Bai Minghe that Bai Minghe is definitely a strong person. At this time, this feeling became even stronger.
"What, did I say wrong? Lord Hu of the Ministry of Rites is here. Can he say that using nuns as favored concubines and daughter-in-law is pregnant without husbands, and taking up wealth from old friends is a saint?" Bai Minghe said this, so he stopped talking.
Let's talk about it further, just one sentence.
There is only one reason why Zhu Cheng’s Neo-Confucianism was promoted again. This thing is so good. Fortunately, it can create people like Fang Xiaoru, who are so loyal to the extreme, which is a tool of domination.
Fang Shu was so scared that he was sweating all over. He didn't dare to continue on such a topic.
It’s not because I’m afraid of what these words can cause, but because I’m afraid of the emergence of things. If my answer against my will is seen through by Bai Minghe, or if I’m dealing with the disadvantages, Bai Minghe leaves in anger, then my plan will be meaningless.
Fang Qin nipped her silver teeth and said to the maid beside her: "Give the treasures brought by the merchant gang from Guangxi for Lord Bai to taste."
Soon, two trays were delivered.
A portion of fruit is placed on the table, and then there is a large cup for each person, with a strange fragrance of juice in the cup.
