Asking hexagram 20 taels

(nine)

"What is he doing here?" Tang Yuan couldn't help saying.

"Who?" Xie Sanchuan didn't know when he came to Tang Yuan's place, and looked out the window with him.

"Liu Yun, Deputy Commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division."

The Wucheng Bingma Division is the commanding division of the east, west, south, north, and central five cities. It is in charge of the affairs of the capital. If there is any robbery or theft in the capital, they can always be found. they do.Basically, he is the chief steward of the capital and the guard of the emperor.

The commanders of the military and horse divisions of the five cities are usually the emperor's favorite ministers. This position is close to the emperor, and the emperor can see the merits at the first time, so he is promoted very quickly.

This Liu Yun is also special. Liu Yun's eldest sister is the emperor's concubine. Tang Yuan can't remember what kind of concubine it is. The emperor's younger uncle's harem is too full.He only remembered that Liu Yun's elder sister doted on her younger brother so much that she allowed her younger brother to bully the princes.But at that time, she was being favored, and the mothers of the princes sued the queen, and the queen wanted to punish her, but when the wind blows from her pillow, nothing happened.

Later Liu Yun bullied Tang Yuan and was pushed into the lake by Tang Yuan. Since then, he never dared to show his face in front of him.Tang Yuan was the emperor's nephew, and at that time the emperor was ashamed of their family, to be precise, the eldest princess. This time, sister Liu Yun's bedside tricks didn't work anymore, and instead she lost her concubine position.The Liu family did their best to finally save Liu Yun, without making him receive a severe punishment.

Since then, the Liu family, which was powerful at the moment, has not fallen, and Liu Yun, who is very arrogant, has also been quiet a lot.

"Five Cities Soldiers and Horses? Shouldn't they be patrolling the capital? What are they doing in such a place now?"

"Who knows? Let's see."

"Is that Xiao Er not right?" Xie Sanchuan asked as he looked at Xiao Er's gracious greetings to those who were on the horse.

"That's not right. We were drugged when we first entered the inn."

"Is it on the rag? At that time, I just felt that something was wrong, so I took the rag away, but I didn't find any clues."

"Of course you can't find any clues, because this is done in two steps. There is one layer on the rag, and another layer in the food we eat. These two layers are indispensable, and they are non-toxic when taken out alone. But pavilion master, don't worry, I've already put the antidote in the tea." What he didn't say was that this kind of poison should have been extinct in the Jianghu.

Xie Sanchuan didn't ask either.As the owner of Wuwei Pavilion, it can be said that he has seen countless strange poisons and magic medicines, but he still doesn't know the existence of this kind of medicine.Then either this medicine was fabricated, or this medicine has always existed in a place that Wuwei Pavilion cannot detect.For example, the palace.

"There is still a tunnel in this place?!" Xie Sanchuan was startled, this was the second time he came to this inn, and he didn't realize that there was a tunnel underground.

I saw Xiaoer laying on the ground, pulled some mechanism, and lifted a board from the ground, with a big hole under the board.There was a faint light coming out of the big hole, and a group of people unloaded the horses under the lead of Xiaoer, and climbed down from the big hole with two people carrying them.

"Shopkeeper, how is business doing recently?" Liu Yun was still greeting the shopkeeper.

"Thanks to the officials, it's okay." Fu, the shopkeeper, bowed his head and answered Liu Yun respectfully, with a troubled look on his face and a few drops of sweat oozing from his temples.

"If the shopkeeper doesn't want to do it, just tell us guys, and we won't make things difficult for you, right?"

"What's the matter, sir, since we've all taken your route, how can we get off the ship halfway? Do you think that's the reason?"

Liu Yun's expression is very subtle, his eyes are full of sarcasm, but he still has to pretend to be a hello and me, and coupled with his appearance, there is no reason to show a treacherous look Come.His appearance is very distinctive, otherwise Tang Yuan wouldn't have recognized him at a glance. This person, like his elder sister, has extremely beautiful facial features, except for a pair of hanging eyes that destroy the beauty. White eyes, short and thin body, unable to support the beautiful facial features, it looks extremely weird.

He took the money bag handed over by the shopkeeper privately, weighed it, and said: "The shopkeeper's understanding is fine.—Then I'll go down and have a look first?"

"Please, please, I will show you the way." The two of them went down the big hole just like the second child before.Only a few horses they rode were left in the yard, hooting restlessly, snorting at the cool night.

"What did they bring?"

"I don't know, they've all gone in, I'll go in and have a look." Tang Yuan pushed open the window, one foot was already on the window sill, and after thinking about it, he came back and told, "Governor Xie is not good at light work, so don't go, please. The owner of the pavilion drove the carriage out, if I am found out, I am afraid that the store will not be able to stay anymore, let's go to the capital overnight."

"Young hero, be careful." Xie Sanchuan also knew that he was not good at lightness kung fu, so he nodded and slipped down lightly.

Tang Yuan grasped the window sill tightly, exerted all his strength, a kite turned over and landed on the roof, and tiptoely moved to the roof directly in front of the hole.

From the roof, one can faintly see the light of the fire coming out of the cave, and this light is blocked by people walking around underground from time to time, and it is unknown what is hidden underneath.

With a little help, Tang Yuan lightly landed on the entrance of the cave like a bird falling to the ground, and rolled over again.

Tang Yuan was stunned when he entered the entrance of the cave on the first day of junior high school.

There is no hole in the tunnel under the tunnel.This cave seems to have hollowed out the entire underground of the inn. The walls of the cave are all made of green bricks, and the bricks are tightly connected to each other, as if they are one.A glazed lamp from the West is hung on the blue bricks. This lamp is extremely expensive, but it is protected by a glazed lampshade, which greatly reduces the risk of fire.Few families could afford such lamps, at least not in such a dilapidated inn.What's more, there are at least ten lamps here, even the Tang Mansion would not be so extravagant to hang more than ten glazed lamps in the cellar.

But what shocked Tang Yuan the most was that rows of shelves were placed near the entrance of the cave, and there were stacks of standard military armor neatly stacked on the shelves. Things are definitely not privately made, and privately made armors from the people would never dare to sew official seals on them.

This is not over, there is still a batch of iron weapons, all of which are military supplies.Salt and iron have always been in the hands of the imperial court. Ordinary people have very few of them, and even if they have them, they can't make so many weapons.

Could it be that Liu Yun stole it in Beijing?

Tang Yuan took his steps lightly and dived into the depths like a cat. Tang Yuan couldn't see anything on the surface of the things he brought this time, but he could steal some to have a look.

"Oh, who the hell tripped me up?" A soldier fell down and stood up looking for who tripped him up, but the people on the left and right were moving things without saying a word, and it was impossible for anyone to stretch their feet trip him.

"Is it because you are not stable? You blame others. To be honest, did you go to play with a girl from Yihonglou again?"

"Go, go, what a fart, where is the time to play when you're so busy recently? Go and play on your own! Keep moving!" Da Bing retorted in a low voice, and carried the box on his shoulders again.

Suddenly someone at the end of the line asked in a trembling voice, "Hey? Did you feel the gust of wind just now?"

"What is broken wind? Are you stupid to move things? Where does the wind come from underground?"

"It's really windy." The man's voice trembled even more.

Someone in the team also said: "It's really windy, I, I feel it too."

Then one after another people said that they really felt the wind, everyone swallowed, and the person at the end of the line said: "My grandma told me that if you do too many bad things, ghosts will come to your door. I said we shouldn't do it." I'm sorry for those brothers."

"Shut up! Let's talk about disturbing the morale of the army. Don't ask for military salary this month! We are sorry for them, who is sorry for us? If you don't do this, eat and drink, do you want to kill you?—Continue!"

A group of people continued to move their things to go deeper. Liu Yun, who had already walked to the front, didn't even hear this little episode.

Tang Yuan turned around in the cave and returned to the cave entrance. He held a handful of powder from the boxes carried by the soldiers in his hand, put his nose into the palm of his hand and sniffed carefully.

gunpowder!

Gunpowder is not difficult to find, and there are many in folk firecracker workshops. If it is not possible, "one nitrate, two yellows and three charcoals", you can make it yourself.

What is hard to find is this kind of purity. It is inevitable that there are some impurities in the folk-made ones, and there are many squibs in firecrackers.But the gunpowder in Tang Yuan's hands is different. It can be said that these gunpowders can be said to ignite when they see fire, and explode when they encounter fire.Needless to say, this also came from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and only the Ministry of Accountancy is so rich.

This burrow is like an underground warehouse. If there are soldiers wearing armor and weapons here, they can fight here, not to mention there are firearms here. The treatment is almost as good as that of Gyeonggi Guard.

So what exactly is Liu Yunyun trying to do with these things?

Tang Yuan knew Liu Yun very well, he was high-minded and timid, and his biggest reliance was his elder sister, and he never did anything beyond the scope of his elder sister's protection.

For example, when he bullied the princes when he was young, he would only look for the princes whose mothers were not as good as his sister to bully, so that the concubines could go to the queen to complain and his sister could suppress them.Another example is that he bullied Tang Yuan by not having long eyes, and was pushed back by Tang Yuan to push into the lake. He was dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not dare to appear in front of Tang Yuan casually.

Would such a man have the audacity to steal munitions?If you steal it and don't sell it, do you want to give someone a handle by hoarding it in this inn?

Unless he finds a bigger protective umbrella than his eldest sister, and this person is enough to protect him when the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are held accountable at the same time, such a number of people can only be counted in the entire court.

The most suspected person is naturally the one on the dragon chair, but why did he smuggle out the armaments?If it's just to control the military power, wouldn't it be enough to just block the armaments in the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of War?

Tang Yuan has a vague guess but is not very sure, so he can only go out to find Xie Sanchuan with doubts.

Xie Sanchuan was sitting on the carriage, waiting for Tang Yuan to come out, when he saw Tang Yuan coming out, he quickly went up to meet him.

"How is the young man, what did you find?"

Tang Yuan climbed into the carriage first, took two sips of water from the water bag, and said, "The underground is full of armaments, armor, weapons and gunpowder."

"Fire-powder? So we've been living on fire-powder?"

"Exactly. - Pavilion Master Xie, I have a question to ask you."

"It's okay for young heroes to just say it."

"This place belongs to the property under the name of Wuwei Pavilion. As the owner of Wuwei Pavilion, has Master Xie never heard of any changes in the property under his sect?" Tang Yuan wanted to ask this question when he first came in. The wine flag of the inn was clearly embroidered with "Wuwei" "Two words, Xie Sanchuan, as the owner of the Wuwei Pavilion, thinks he doesn't know anything. It's fine if the shopkeeper Yi Zhurong doesn't recognize him, but he doesn't know the shopkeeper either.

"But this is not under the name of Mr. Wuwei. I remember all the properties under Mr. Wuwei's name, and this Yunlai Inn is not among them."

"But the wine flag of the inn has the word 'inaction' embroidered on it."

"What?" Xie Sanchuan's surprise was not fake, he really didn't know that this inn belonged to Wuwei Pavilion, "Impossible, although my lightness skill is not good, but my memory is not bad, this is indeed not on the property list of Wuwei Pavilion .”

"That is the property that is not listed in the book. Has the subordinate never reported the business of this shop?"

"Wuwei Pavilion has always been committed to maintaining the stability of the Jianghu and the court. If there are many private industries, there are too many, but there are rules. Where to open a few, the income and expenditure at the end of the year are all listed in the book, unless—— Xie Sanchuan rubbed his brows and sighed, "The subordinates drove it without telling me."

Tang Yuan didn't expect that Wuwei Pavilion would have such things as obedience and transgression.

The external image of Wuwei Pavilion has always been very positive. As Pavilion Master Xie said, it is its duty to maintain the stability of the Jianghu and the court, and the upper and lower are united in one heart and one mind.But where there are people, there are disputes. Who doesn't want power, who doesn't want to fight for profit?Opening a store under the banner of Wuwei Pavilion, not only can you get the protection of Wuwei Pavilion forces, but you can also avoid paying rent to the main hall of Wuwei Pavilion, which is simply a great thing.Thinking about it this way, the existence of this store seems reasonable.

It's just that there are still some things that are wrong, Tang Yuan's head hurts from thinking about it, so he doesn't think about it anymore.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master, let's go." He stopped Xie Sanchuan from continuing. It is useless to talk about other people's family affairs. The most important thing now is to go to the capital.

Whether it is the emperor's order or this batch of armaments, they have to go to the capital, and only in the capital can all the secrets be revealed.
