Chapter 358 Seven Holy Swords(1/2)
Corpse poison?
Yang Shouwen has only seen it in the novel, but has never really seen it.
No wonder, he lived in a prosperous era in his previous life, and had never seen such strange things? In Yang Shouwen's opinion, corpse poison should be an infectious bacteria. What would it look like if he was infected by corpse poison? He really didn't know.
"Old Yang, are you sure?"
"70% can be confirmed."
The four words "Huangtai Treasure" immediately flashed in Yang Shouwen's mind.
Where did those beggars get infected with the corpse poison? Could it be those people who have begun to dig out the treasure of Huangtai?
Think about it, there seems to be nothing strange about this.
The buried place of Huangtai treasure must be full of mechanisms. If the other party wants to get the treasure, he needs enough manpower to dig it...
Slow down!
An inspiration suddenly flashed through Yang Shouwen's mind, as if he had thought of something.
"Alang, Alang?"
Yang Sixu was talking to Yang Shouwen, but suddenly he found that he seemed to have lost his soul. He panicked and quickly called out.
"Ah, it's okay, I just thought of something."
"What's up?"
"Let's talk about it when we go back to the inn."
Yang Shouwen and Yang Sixu hurried back to the Eight Immortals Inn. When they walked into the Eight Immortals Inn, they saw the shopkeeper talking with a young man. When the two walked into the inn, the young man glanced at Yang Shouwen.
He suddenly smiled and nodded at Yang Shouwen.
The young man looked about in his early twenties, with white teeth and red lips, and a talented person.
However, Yang Shouwen did not recognize the other party. He just saw that the other party greeted him. He couldn't be indifferent. So he nodded to the other party and walked through the lobby. At the bridge, Pei Min was holding the railing and looking at the square where the platform was building in the distance. Seeing Yang Shouwen coming, he hurriedly came forward and said softly: "Alang, I've heard of a message."
"Let's talk about it when you go back to the house."
Yang Shouwen did not rush to ask questions, but gave Pei Min a wink.
After the three of them returned to Yang Shouwen's room, Pei Min was about to speak when he heard Yang Shouwen say, "Just just now, Lao Yang and I went to the chariots of the beggars. Lao Yang said that those corpses seemed to have been poisoned by corpses and died.
I was wondering, could the other party have already started to dig out the treasures of Yuanwen?
If this is the case, they will definitely attract people. Forty million stagnants of gold are not a small amount, even if they accumulate, they will be a mountain of gold. If they want to dig this mountain of gold, they will definitely need a large number of people."
After saying that, Yang Shouwen said to Pei Min: "This may be a clue. Xiao Pei, you can ask about it and see what is the place in Changzhou City recently. It is about to break ground and attract and recruit people, and you may gain something."
Pei Min laughed immediately after hearing Yang Shouwen's words.
"Alang, this is exactly what I want to tell you."
"oh?"
"Just just now, I was chatting with the shop's guy outside. I accidentally heard him say that Mr. Su from Changzhou was repairing his garden and hired a lot of helpers to do it. According to the guy, Mr. Su was a child of the Su family in Wuxian. He made a fortune by selling silk to the Annan Protectorate, and built a garden on the shore of Taihu Lake in the west of the city."
Mr. Su?
Yang Shouwen's eyes flashed, "Xiao Pei, continue."
Pei Min nodded, "It is normal to repair the garden. People in Suzhou like to build gardens. But the problem is that Mr. Su only repaired the garden once at the beginning of the year, and now it is less than half a year, so he has to rebuild the garden again.
I don’t understand the idea of rich people, but it’s an interesting thing to repair the garden twice in less than half a year.”
Yang Shouwen glanced at Yang Sixu, pondered for a moment and asked, "What's Mr. Su's name?"
"Suwei."
"Um?"
"It's not Su Wei from the previous dynasty, but the same name."
Pei Min quickly explained: "Su Yuanwai is a capable person. It is said that he made a mistake in his early years, was punished by his family, and went to Annan Protectorate to do things. Unexpectedly, this guy was in Annan Protectorate for ten years. When he came back, he not only had a wealthy fortune, but also opened up a trade route for the Su family to the Annan Protectorate, so he was praised by the elders of the Su family.
Afterwards, he relied on the Su family to almost monopolize the silk business from Suhang to Annan and Lingnan, and his family business became bigger and bigger. Also, this person had a deep friendship with Wang Yuankai. When Wang Yuankai was alive, he often visited the inner yard."
In a narrow sense, the Protectorate was a special administrative agency established in border ethnic areas in the Tang Dynasty.
In a broad sense, the Protectorate is not a simple prefecture, but refers to the vast area under the Protectorate...
The Protectorate was established in the Tang Dynasty since the Wude period. After being promoted by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, a total of nine Protectorate was established so far, namely Andong, Dongyi, Anbei, Shanyu, Anxi, Beiting, Kunling, Mengchi and what Pei Min said about Annan.
The Annan Protectorate was under the jurisdiction of thirteen prefectures and thirty-nine counties, plus thirty-two banished states. Its rule included some Yunnan-Guizhou areas in later generations and the entire Vietnam. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Annan Protectorate was considered a wild land. The Su family was able to control the silk business in the entire Annan area by relying on this Su Wei, and its background was obviously not too bad.
After listening to Pei Min's introduction, Yang Shouwen pondered for a moment.
After a while, he looked up at Yang Sixu.
Yang Sixu immediately understood what he meant and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow I will go to the Su family's garden with Xiao Pei to find out to see if I can gain something."
“So great!”
Yang Shouwen said in a deep voice: "Then I will walk around the city tomorrow to see if I can find anything."
After the three of them discussed, they went back to their rooms.
Yang Shouwen walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the inn alone.
At this time, it was already late, and the lobby was full of diners, which was very lively. Yang Shouwen sat down at a seat by the window and ordered a few wines and dishes. While slowly tasting, he quietly observed the situation of the Eight Immortals Inn.
The diners in this Eight Immortals Inn are mixed with all kinds of people.
They were either shouting or whispering, setting off the atmosphere in the lobby with a particularly warm atmosphere.
"Customer.com from the north?"
At this moment, a young man in green appeared opposite Yang Shouwen. He sat down with a wine pot, smiled and looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "I think the guests seem to have something to worry about. Could it be that they are in trouble? This Eight Immortals Inn is a top-notch place in Changzhou County. If you have any worries, as long as you are willing to pay, you can solve them for you."
The young man was the one he met in the lobby when Yang Shouwen and Yang Sixu came back during the day.
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
He looked at the other person curiously, raised his glass and said, "My name is Yang Qingzhi."
He did not say his real name, but used his own words.
The young man smiled and said, "Everyone here calls me Ming Laosi, you can call me Silang."
"Can anything really be solved?"
"certainly!"
"I want to find someone."
"who?"
"That man also came from the north, and was a monk named Wuwei Zen Master."
Ming Laosi smiled, "Are you looking for a monk? If you come to Changzhou to find a monk, you shouldn't be here. You should go to Puhui Temple."
Yang Shouwen looked at Ming Laosi, "But the monk I'm looking for is not ordinary."
"Hehe, the more unusual it is, the more you have to look for it in the temple.
There are a large group of monks in Puhui Temple. What monk can’t be found? However, it’s probably difficult to find when you come to the door so hard... By the way, this news is worth a lot of money, and I will ask the counter to record it for you."
Yang Shouwen thought something and nodded with a smile.
At this time, if he still couldn't see the other party's purpose, he would be a fool. Arrow Book, Taibo Temple, Temple Zhu, Eight Immortals Inn, Ming Laosi... Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed into a slit and said softly: "I just don't know, what good scenery does this Eight Immortals Inn have to see?"
“Good scenery?”
Ming Laosi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Does the puppet trick count?"
"oh?"
"No, it's already here."
While talking, there was a sudden burst of gongs and drums outside the inn.
Yang Shouwen looked out and saw a fleet of cars and horses appearing in the square at the entrance of the Eight Immortals Inn and quickly set off.
The sound of the piano slowly rang.
A fat puppet with an almost naked body, with a big belly like Maitreya Buddha, a string of firecrackers with a smile on his face, followed by the sound of cannons and sparks splashed. At the same time, a young man climbed up a big tree at the entrance of the inn, lit a circle of fireworks, and squeaked out Venus. This was also the opening ceremony of the trickster, aiming to drive away the monsters and monsters.
Firefight?
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but be stunned and reacted keenly. Did there be gunpowder at this time?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound of cannons, and a flag was waving. A golden dragon emerged from the river not far away, dancing like a cloud in the fog in the white gas; on the shore, two lions competed for the hydrangea with the beat of gongs and drums, and the white crane spread its wings, just as the turtle shook its head and walked towards him. So, in a battle between the turtle and crane, the two lusters were clearly reflected on the river surface, attracting a series of cheers from onlookers.
"The four dragons, turtles, lions and cranes show their spirits, and the unique puppet trick in Minzhou."
Ming Laosi took a sip of wine and explained with a smile.
"How, how does this trick look?"
Yang Shouwen ignored Ming Laosi, frowned, stared at the trick on the shore, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.
"Dear fellow villagers, we are honest tricksters in Minzhou. Today we pass by the treasure land and play a small gesture to make the villagers smile. The trick just now is called the Dragon, Turtle, Lion and Crane Shower. If you think you can see it, you will support you. Our family will rely on the care of the villagers. Those who have money will support you, and those who have no money will support you..."
To be continued...
