Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 321 Master
Uncle Wu Qing and Li Wei said to He Liu and Lao Hu, "Come on, stop kneeling! Get up!"

He Liu and Lao Hu stood up.

Suddenly, two magpies flew to a willow tree in the back garden.

Li Wei shouted: "Hurry up, go to my room to get the slingshot! The magpie is wrapped in mud and burnt in the fire. It's delicious! Don't let these two pieces of meat go away! Shoot them down, and I'll have them again at noon." There is only one meal left over!"

The servant took the order and ran to Li Wei's bedroom in a hurry.The two magpies seemed to hear that someone was going to eat them under the tree. "Flicking", two magpies flew up.

It's too late, but it's fast.Lao Hu took out two throwing knives from his waist with lightning speed. "Whoosh, whoosh", the flying knife was released, and the two magpies landed in response.

Li Weixi yelled: "Good method! Hurry up, go and get those two pieces of meat back for me!"

Li Gao said to Lao Hu: "You old man is very good at kung fu! I didn't say anything, you have to teach me this set of kung fu seriously in the future!"

The servants retrieved two magpies.Li Wei pulled out two throwing knives from the magpie, returned them to Lao Hu, and pinned the magpie to his waist.He looked like an old farmer in the countryside.

Li Wei asked, "How old are you two officials?"

He Liu replied: "Subordinates are of the third rank, and Hu Qian follows the third rank."

Li Wei thought for a while, and shouted: "Hey! So you are still high-ranking officials! The prefect of our hometown is also a fourth-rank official! Let's go, I invite you to eat roasted magpies!"

Li Wei ordered the kitchen to prepare meals and entertain He Liu and Lao Hu.

This table meal is really shabby.Three dishes and one soup.The soup is radish soup, and the dishes are pickled cabbage and fried green vegetables with green onions.The only meat on the table is two roasted magpies.

Li Wei happily broke off a magpie leg and chewed it again and again.It was a long time before he said to He Liuhe and old Hu: "Eat it quickly! This roasted magpie is delicious!"

Li Gao was so ashamed that he almost found a crack in the ground and slipped in!He said to He Liu and Lao Hu: "Don't be offended, you two! If you can't eat, I will invite you to eat mutton in the Huibin building later!"

He Liu and Lao Hu couldn't laugh or cry, so they had to pick up chopsticks and eat pickled cabbage and green onions.

Halfway through the meal, Li Wei asked: "Our dog will be working under your command from now on? You have to take good care of him!"

Li Gao's childhood name is Gou'er. Before Li Gao, he had two older brothers and one older sister.Her mother and two elder brothers died of famine in the early years.He was left alone with his father and sister.I never thought that the Li family's fortune will come.His sister entered Yu Wang's mansion as a maid.Accidentally fell in love with Yu Wang at the time, and took the house. . .Since then, the Li family has ascended to heaven.

He Liudao: "Your Majesty is born wise. He will definitely be able to make a career in Jinyiwei and add honor to Concubine Li Gui!"

Li Gao didn't like He Liu very much, but he was very enthusiastic about Lao Hu: "I said, old man Hu, leave your knife-throwing kung fu to me! Please!"

Old Hu laughed and said, "Master, it's useless if you beg me! My flying knife kung fu is passed down from Huzhou Tiedaomen. It is only passed on to apprentices, not to outsiders."

Hearing this, Li Gao knelt down to Lao Hu with a "plop": "This is not easy? Master, please be respected by the apprentice!"

Old Hu looked bewildered, and after a while, he quickly helped Li Gao up: "Master, please get up quickly. Aren't you killing me, Old Hu?"

Li Gaodao: "If you don't accept me as an apprentice and teach me Kungfu of Flying Knife, I won't get up!"

Old Hu shook his head: "Oh, this is really difficult! According to the rules of the Tiedaomen, the apprentice has to obey the master in everything after he has become a master! You are the son of the earl..."

Li Gao quickly said: "Don't worry! I will listen to you, old man Hu, for everything in the future, no, master! As long as you teach me that powerful knife throwing kung fu, if you let me jump into the river, I will jump into the river, and if you let me climb the tree, I will jump into the river." Climb the tree!"

He Liu looked on coldly, and said to himself: This guy, Lao Hu, subdued Li Gao, a foolish son, with just a few words.

In fact, although Li Wei, Li Gao and his son have their own faults, they are still kind in nature.

He Liu said: "Uncle, son. The emperor ordered us to go to Tianjin to investigate a case. If you have nothing to do, you can pack up and follow us to Tianjin in the afternoon."

Li Gao heard that the boss was not happy: "Mr. Ningyuan treats me to dinner tonight. Can't we set off tomorrow?"

Old Hu said: "Master, didn't you just say that you should listen to my master in everything?"

Li Gao quickly said: "Ah, yes, yes! Master, if you let me jump into the river, I will jump into the river, if you let me climb the tree, I will climb the tree! After eating, I will pack up and follow you to Tianjin!"

Wu Qingbo Li Wei suddenly said to He Liu: "Your knife is quite short, take it out and let me use it!"

He Liu was at a loss when he heard the words, but Uncle Wu Qing was the head of the country, and he had spoken, so He Liu had to obey.He drew out the Xiuchun knife, turned his back on Wu Qingbo, and handed it over.

Li Wei picked up the Xiuchun knife, and even picked his teeth with the tip of the knife!It turns out that this magpie has thick flesh and teeth. . .

After dinner, Li Gao packed up a small package, followed He Liu and Lao Hu to Fusi of Beizhen first, and got the horse.The three hit horses and went straight to Tianjin Acropolis.

On the way, He Liu and Lao Hu talked about the Tongyi case.

He Liudao: "Actually, the Tianjin Guards Army does a lot of business with smugglers, and it's already an open secret to secretly transport Western goods from Tianjin to the capital. I don't know why this happened, but the Tongyi case went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Lao Hu nodded: "This is indeed a strange thing."

Li Gao asked Lao Hu from the side: "Master, Western goods are good things! I have a Western clairvoyance gifted by Ning Yuanhou at home! Hey, you don't know, stand on the watchtower and look at the two young ladies from Governor Chen's house next door." Picking flowers in the garden, Baier knows."

Old Hu said: "Western goods are good, but the imperial court strictly forbids us to do business with Xiyi. You can do business if you want, but you can only do it in Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou."

Li Gaodao: "Master, I don't understand this! Since Western goods are good things, why didn't the imperial court let our Ming people do business with Xiyi? I heard from Marquis Ning Yuan that he was the one who took two catties of Western clairvoyance." Biluochun was exchanged with a Xiyi! If we take out two thousand catties of Biluochun, can’t we exchange it for a mountain of silver from the Xiyi people? This is a sure-fire deal!”

In fact, Li Gao's words are not rough.However, it is the ancestral system to seal off and ban the sea.This ignorant son of Uncle Wu Qing didn't know that his point of view coincided with Zhang Juzheng of the cabinet!

Zhang Juzheng advised Emperor Longqing two days ago to open the sea ban.However, it was unanimously opposed by Gao Gong and other conservative officials.

The three of them walked for a day and finally came to Tianjin Wei.

It was Commander Sun Chunbin who greeted Tianjin Wei.Let's say Sun Chunbin is still an old acquaintance of He Liu's!When the Ding Wang case was first investigated, Sun Chunbin was still in command.This man was quite good at drilling camps, and after six years, he was promoted to the command envoy and took the top spot in the Tianjin Guards Army.
