Chapter 146
A lengthy convoy, full of goods, entered the capital from Yongdingmen.

There were more than a dozen large carts, and the wheels ran over the official road, leaving two deep ravines, which showed the heavy cargo on the carts.

When entering the city, other carriages and horses had to be checked, and all the soldiers defending the city looked fierce, and even the contents of some carriages were turned upside down.

However, this team is rather special.

Just as the soldiers were about to step forward, they saw a man in charge, who came forward to whisper a few words to the other party, and then quietly handed over some things. With smiles on their faces, the soldiers let them go without checking the accompanying personnel and goods.

After entering the city, the man was familiar with the road and led the convoy to a mansion in the inner city.

At this time, a person in charge came out of the mansion and said, "It's hard work, it's such a long journey, I have to trouble Brother Wang to walk it himself."

The steward of the motorcade immediately replied: "Brother Li, you are welcome. My master has always admired Gao Gong. Gao Gong lives in the temple, but he cares about the people. Over the years, he has spoken for us people in Jiangnan. Thinking of Duke Gao, this time, I collected some gadgets, please don’t dislike him, too.”

"Good talk, good talk!"

Manager Li of the mansion laughed, and said: "My master has always been concerned about the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Brother Wang has come from a long way, so you might as well go to the front hall for a drink of tea."

The steward of the motorcade king clasped his fists and saluted, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!"

After being polite for a while, the two left in a hurry, while the place continued to be busy, unloading the goods.

After working for about half an hour, all the goods on the car were moved, and then the two stewards came out leisurely.

The two had just passed through the moon cave in the inner courtyard, but they almost collided with an old servant. The manager named Wang changed his face and said angrily, "You don't understand the rules, you can come in and out here?"

According to the rules, only the owner or guests with status can enter the moon cave, and servants can only enter through the side door, also known as the dog door.

The old servant stood there stupidly, with a dazed expression on his face.

But Guanshi Li smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Brother Wang, don't shout anymore, this man is deaf and dumb, he can't hear what you say."

Steward Wang looked at the old servant with disgust on his face, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "I don't know why Brother Li recruited deaf-mute people to work?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then reacted with a look of admiration on his face.

"Brother Li acts cautiously, I admire you so much!"

Manager Li didn't say much, just exchanged a few words of greeting. Immediately afterwards, Manager Wang led the convoy away, and Manager Li hurried to another mansion with the accounts that had just been sorted out.

This mansion does not occupy a large area. It is a courtyard with two entrances. It is relatively shabby in the inner city.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have expected that the majestic cabinet scholar lived in a courtyard with two entrances.

That's right, the owner of this mansion is Takahashi.

A Jinshi in the 13th year of Yongle was entered into the cabinet by Sheren Zhongshu, a minister of the Imperial Academy, and a scholar of the Ministry of Punishment.

At this time, it was almost evening, and Gao Gu had already been on duty, but except for some fire lights in the study room of Gao's house, there were no lights in other rooms.

Li Guanshi came to the study and presented the account.

Gao Gu was writing the memorandum, without raising his head, he just said casually: "Just put it in the account, you don't need to show it to the old man."

"Yes!"

Li Guanshi was very respectful and put away the account.

"Guests in Nanjing should be treated well, so that we can show that we treat guests well."

"Yes, master, don't worry, the villain has already made arrangements."

At this time, Gao Gu seemed to think of something, so he stopped writing and asked, "I remember... your son is not young, is he? What are you doing now?"

"Go back to the master, the dog is still studying."

"Can you have a name?"

"I made the master laugh, the dog has studied hard for many years..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Gu said: "In a few days, the old man will arrange for him to enter the Guozijian. Even if he doesn't have a reputation, he can at least get the name of a student supervisor."

Li Guanshi was overwhelmed by flattery, immediately knelt down, and said excitedly: "It's really a good fortune to meet the master in this life, no matter what the master has, just give orders, the little one will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

"It doesn't have to be..."

Gao Gu waved his hand and said: "I know you are honest and honest, but you can rest assured, stay for a meal!"

Li Guanshi nodded happily and said, "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Gao Guming's kitchen served meals, but there was only one stir-fried vegetable, one cold tofu, and a plate of small pickles.

…………

On the outskirts of the city, a nameless ruined temple.

Wang Qinghai opened his eyes, but found that the surrounding area was completely dark.

He was a little dazed in his mind, he vaguely remembered eating, getting into the sedan chair, and then taking a nap, where did he go?
call!
Suddenly, a ball of torches burned.

Wang Qinghai only felt his eyes dazzled and was taken aback, he hurriedly said: "Come here, where is this?"

Only a bearer whispered: "Boss Wang, the little ones can't do anything..."

Wang Qinghai slowly regained his vision. He was startled, and when he looked up, he found himself in a ruined temple.

And in front of his eyes, holding torches were several people in soap suits.

Wang Qinghai immediately shouted: "I am..."

Snapped!
Before the words fell, a slap was slapped down.

"Bold, I am Nanjing..."

Snapped!
Another slap fell on his face, and he was beaten to the point where little stars appeared in front of his eyes.

"You, you..."

Snapped!
The other party was obviously not a good person, and he didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, so the big ear stickers were directly drawn over, making his eardrums crack.

Wang Qinghai's mind was buzzing, he finally realized that what happened tonight might not be that simple.

"If you ask me anything, just say it, if you don't ask me, don't say anything, understand?"

Finally, the other party spoke.

Without any further hesitation, Wang Qinghai knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "The hero, spare your life!"

"what is it call?"

"Wang Qinghai!"

"what for?"

"Do... do business..."

brush!
A steel knife gleaming with cold light rested on his neck, and the blade was so cold that it made people shudder.

Wang Qinghai suddenly felt a wave of heat flowing from his trouser legs, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said truthfully: "The young one is... the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, Mei Linrong... Mr. Mei's domestic slave..."

"What are you doing here in the capital?"

"Come... come... send carbon respect..."

"What carbon respect? Make it clear!"

"That's right, that's right..." Wang Qinghai swallowed, and said tremblingly, "It's just a tribute to the elders of the capital. Isn't it going to be winter? As soon as winter comes, the elders in the capital always want to Burning charcoal, but... you can't freeze them..."

"To whom?"

"Send...send..."
