Chapter 172 Evil Gate
There is a pharmacy in Hankou, and many of the medicinal materials are from Liaodong and Liangxi. The medicinal properties are excellent. Many people come here to pick some good things, such as wild ginseng of the year, nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, etc., and they can't find them anywhere else, so they have to come to Tzu Chi Hall.
Tzu Chi Hall has been open in Hankou for more than twenty years. It is not a shame, but it also has a considerable reputation, at least it is not greedy for the medicine.
On the Double Ninth Festival, an old man came from outside.
"Can the store have excellent wild ginseng? It will take at least seven years."
"Hao, can you afford it?"
"Looking at people? Is this Tzu Chi Hall? Don't I go wrong, right?"
"Let me tell you how much money you have?"
"Hehe, the amount of your wild ginseng costs is as much as you want!"
This old man actually met the shop assistant.
"Oh, I'm sorry for you. It's not difficult to talk in the Qing Dynasty. It's not difficult to ask for wild ginseng. Look inside." A person who looked like a shopkeeper came out, and he was quite polite to the old man.
"Virtue!" The old man glared at the guy before entering.
"You..." The guy is also young and energetic, but there is nothing he can do. It's hard to be true.
After entering, the shopkeeper took the old man for a few turns and came to a small house.
"Brother Han, don't be fine."
"Brother Huang, don't do this."
The two of them changed suddenly...
By the way, this brother Han is actually the young owner of Tzu Chi Hall, but he is not young anymore, but he is not like this in normal times. Brother Huang, Old Man Huang, is naturally the one who used to train the boat for His Royal Highness the Prince...
"Your Highness the Prince is still fine?" Brother Han greeted Brother Huang and sat down.
"That's right, it's strange to say that this is a matter of strangeness. His Royal Highness actually brought a princess and a lady. This is really... His Royal Highness's young man is not a big deal, but why did he provoke the women of the Zhao family?" Old Man Huang was a little puzzled.
Brother Han immediately handed the tea, "There are already known about this matter, and I replied, "Just tell us not to worry about it."
"Ah?" Old Man Huang couldn't drink the tea anymore, "Could it be, King Liang..."
"Don't say it." Brother Han took over the conversation, "We should not worry about these things. This time we called Brother Huang to come here, but it was actually for the sake of the side. That is, it seems that the princess and the princesses were unwilling to be lonely, so she did a lot of moves when she arrived in Hankou."
"I know this. Lao Huang, I am a boatman. I actually heard someone paying a lot of money to let our boats go to the river. What does it mean? This... won't collide?" Old Man Huang also didn't understand much.
It is said that Tzu Chi Hall is an ostensibly a pharmacy, but in fact it is a stronghold. Hankou is guarding the Yangtze River and is well-connected. It would be strange if you don’t do anything here.
In other words, Han Shaodong had his own reasons for contacting Old Man Huang, and Old Man Huang had reported the whereabouts of His Royal Highness and the princess’s princess’s wife before. After a few days, he was told that he was coming to see this Young Man Han.
All are very strange things...
"Is that princess and lady almost gone?" Han Shaodong wanted to confirm the matter.
"Anyway, I think there is today or tomorrow." Old Man Huang was sure.
"Then... why did she build those boats? She even used the scale pole shop." Han Shaodong mentioned the place where the scale pole was made.
Han Shaodong and Old Man Huang knew about the place of the Scaling Bar Square. It was a secret mechanism under King Ning. Everyone was similar. But in fact, Zhao Mengyao was mainly in charge of this Scaling Bar Square. King Ning is quite casual. It is better to have less things than more things.
But, the scale bars are in full swing, why is this?
But at this moment...
"Our family, I heard that the boat hit the river and it was burning!"
Someone outside the house handed in this sentence.
"Oh?" Han Shaodong frowned.
"Look, I'll just say it..." Old Man Huang felt that he was Zhuge Liang and was predicted before he knew it.
But……
"Is there something big going to happen?" Han Shaodong thought of something strange.
"Then Your Highness..." Old Man Huang seemed a little uneasy.
Tzu Chi Hall has taken some action, but I don’t know what they have done, but the movement on the river over there is getting bigger and bigger.
Bang! Bang!
"Oh, this is interesting. Not only does it burn, but it also has firecrackers!"
"Whose cargo ship is it? There are firecrackers on it."
"Then, how can we help?"
There were many ships colliding on the river, but they started burning soon. What’s interesting is that it not only burned, but also sounded and flowers came out. It would be great if it was at night, and it would be absolutely colorful.
Obviously, the boat carrying firecrackers hit. So, the previous Confucian scholars had to ask for help, but what should we do?
It's very interesting to say that this incident is. The scholars who could have entered the Yellow Crane Tower have gone through some tests. After all, the question is very strange, but at present, these scholars don't want to continue the poetry meeting. Instead, they want to go to Jiangzhong to help, which is extremely strange.
But the reason is also very simple. That is, the questions given by Mr. Xianglong of Tang really made the scholars a little overwhelmed. Many people even think that the books of sages they read are of use?
In the current court, Tang Xianglong can be said to be a one-handed person to cover the sky, and the questions given by this husband were so strange that the questions were even the current affairs, and the scholars could be used directly. The most important thing is that Tang Xianglong's husband seemed to be very interested in the wrong ways, which is far from the minds of many scholars.
Therefore, many scholars have maintained this idea, so why not wait. If something happens to Tang Xianglong and is killed, then we might have a day to make a comeback.
Disheartened.
Since that's the case, it's better to take care of the affairs in the river.
However, no one noticed it at this time, as if there were few people missing in this poetry meeting.
"That...that...that...that's the ships were destroyed like this. Are they some passing?"
"Hahaha... No, sometimes you just think too much, what do you care about those boats? We have arrived at the bottom of the Yellow Crane Tower, and this is the most important thing."
Wu Bucheng and Zhao Mengyao had already left the poetry meeting without knowing it. Anyway, it was in chaos at that time, and many people did not pay attention to them. This chaos was the wonderful show of many ships colliding in the river and even fireworks. This was all done by Zhao Mengyao.
This is naturally a move to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
However, it is the focus of those people. Anyone who sees the accident in the river will be attracted to it. Even the scholars have a saying, turning a blind eye to the things outside the window, and only reading the books of sages... But if they really can do this, they will become a great scholar long ago.
Indeed, the money was too big, and after this, at least a thousand taels of silver would be gone. But in Zhao Mengyao's opinion, the life of her princess is not much more expensive than that thousand taels of silver?
But Wu Bucheng was a little worried, "Those boats are all people who eat, this..."
"You, I'd better think more about what we should do next..." Zhao Mengyao looked indifferent.
In fact, Wu Bucheng came here differently than before, but the questions that Tang Xianglong had put out before made him always worry about the people, so he performed like this, but at this time...
"Your Highness, Princess." Chang Youwei had already greeted him in front.
This was a dim path. At that time, the underground of the Yellow Crane Tower was only where it could reach. At first, it was like a cellar, but Chang Youwei was worthy of being a descendant of the Chang family. The ability of the Jinshi Captain was quite good. He knocked on this and looked at that, and then found a mechanism, and then a path appeared in front of the three of them.
"What kind of tomb is there? Why is there such a path?" Wu Bucheng's question seemed simple, but there were many joints in it.
Zhao Mengyao also wanted to know, but since her husband asked first, she didn't need to say anything more, and stood beside Wu Bucheng obediently.
Chang Youwei looked at it for a while and pondered, "Actually, there are some things that we can understand when we think about. Since our predecessors discovered the tomb when they were building the Yellow Crane Tower, they kept silent and even made some mechanisms to protect them like now. This only shows that the tomb may be very powerful, or very evil."
