Five hundred and ninetieth eight chapters Gusu Murong
Liu Shu said: "Huang Sanyuan, our young master first came to Suzhou Prefecture and didn't know the way. I want to ask you to be a guide, are you willing?"
Huang Sanyuan smiled and bowed, "The young master spoke, but the villain couldn't refuse, of course he was willing."
Liu Shu smiled and said, "Okay, we will use up tea and snacks in a while, so you can follow us."
Huang Sanyuan smiled and bowed, "Can you bother the young master waiting for the villain on the street corner?"
Liu Shu frowned slightly and asked, "Why is this?"
Huang Sanyuan looked up at the surroundings and whispered: "Young master, the villain is also a family member who wants to support his family. When you leave, the villain still wants to come back to work. Later, the villain will tell a small lie and say he will go to see a doctor. Then you don't need a villain anymore, and it's better for the villain to come back."
Liu Shu lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Kang. Chen Kang nodded slightly, and Liu Shu said, "Okay, go and do your business."
Huang Sanyuan bowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" After that, he ran downstairs.
Liu Shu sat down and whispered: "Wei Wubai will go and ask others later to see if Huang Sanyuan is reliable, and then find out where he lives and who are in the family."
Wei Wubai nodded, and did not eat snacks, so he went downstairs directly.
Chen Kang sipped tea with satisfaction and looked out the window. The sunlight shone on the southern city, gradually drying the moist ground. The street market was bustling with traffic and was in a great mood.
Huang Sanyuan brought the snacks to the table and smiled and said, "Young master, these are the two best snacks in our store." He pointed to two plates of exquisitely styled snacks and said, "This is the fruit-flavored cake, this is the date cake."
Chen Kang raised his hand and picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cake and put it in a small plate, and slowly tasted the snacks. The sweet taste made Chen Kang a little uncomfortable, but the taste of Suzhou was like this, so he became accompanied the local customs.
At this time, a large yamen passes by a brigade of yamen under the teahouse, and a treasure-covered sedan slowly passes by. On the way, the people quickly give in. The stall vendors hurriedly retreated and dropped a lot of goods.
Chen Kang frowned slightly and asked, "Is this the sedan chair of the Suzhou magistrate?"
Chen Kang guessed so much because the sedan chair passed by was the fourth grade, so he made such a preliminary guess.
Huang Sanyuan frowned slightly. This was the first time he had made such an expression in front of Shen Kang, and said in a muffled voice: "This is the sedan chair of the tax supervisor. I heard that it was a big man sent by the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the Imperial City!"
Chen Kang was a little hesitant. He had never heard of the tax supervisor. However, he could roughly guess what his function was when he heard the name. What's more important is that Huang Sanyuan said that the tax supervisor was an eunuch in the Imperial Horse Supervision Office.
If the Si Lijian is equivalent to the cabinet in the palace, then the Imperial Horse Prison is the "Ministry of War as the Ministry of Revenue". The Tengxiang Guards, among the twenty-six guards of the Imperial Horse Prison, are under the supervision of the Imperial Horse Prison. The procedures for the transfer of troops in the outer court are "received the talisman and requested the treasure", and this "treasure" is also in the Imperial Horse Prison.
This shows how powerful the Imperial Horse Supervision has.
Chen Kang just left an impression, so he didn't ask in depth.
After having enough tea and food, Chen Kang and Liu Shu left the teahouse first as agreed. Wei Wubai was already waiting for the two of them on the corner of the street.
Wei Wubai bowed and replied: "Huang Sanyuan's family lives in an alley next to Shizi Bridge. There are both parents and two children at home. I heard that this person is very diligent and smart and loyal. His parents set up a cake stall with Quanqiao, and his life is pretty good."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Shu handed over a bag of oil paper and said with a smile: "Young Master brings you a snack, eat it quickly."
Wei Wubai grinned, took it with joy and said with a smile: "Thank you, young master." Then he walked behind the two of them, opened the oil-paper bag, and started eating in silence.
After a while, Huang Sanyuan trotted over and bowed repeatedly, "Young Master has been waiting for a long time."
Chen Kang waved his hand and said, "It's meaningless." He paused, and then said, "Take me there and take a look at the Dongting Reed Pond 30 miles west of Gusu City."
Huang Sanyuan was slightly stunned and said, "Thirty miles west of the city, it is a lotus pond, not Dongting reed pond."
Chen Kang smiled and said, "Then go to the lotus pond to have a look."
Huang Sanyuan was so proud that he had no lotus flowers to watch during this solar term. There was no room for viewing. The pond was filled with mud. I don’t know why this young man was going to see these silt pond purples.
But no matter what, he collected money and did things, and he didn't ask much, so he took Chen Kang out of the city. He would introduce him enthusiastically along the way.
Chen Kang's heart was full of Yanziwu Shenhezhuang.
Although Huang Sanyuan learned that the Dongting reed pond did not exist at all, he still looked at it with a yearning look to satisfy his wish.
It was too far away from the city thirty miles away. Several people hired carriages, but it took a short time to arrive.
Huang Sanyuan sat outside the car and stopped talking. When he arrived at the place, he got out of the car. While lifting the curtains for Chen Kang and others, he pointed outside and said, "Young Master, this is the lotus pond thirty miles west of the city."
Chen Kang got out of the car and looked at it, and felt a little disappointed.
In this wilderness, there was only a pond of mud, which made people feel cold. He got out of the car and walked to the lotus pond. When he looked out, he saw that the withered yellow diameter and lotus leaves were everywhere. The mud was frozen, and some of them melted into small puddles. There were crooked yellow reeds growing beside the lotus pond, which was so desolate.
Chen Kang sighed lightly and said, "Bei Qiaofeng, Nan Murong. I have seen the Shenhezhuang of the Murong family in Gusu. Gusu and his party have fulfilled their wish."
Chen Kang muttered to himself like this, Huang Sanyuan listened seriously, and couldn't help but ask: "Young Master is here to find someone?"
Chen Kang smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Huang Sanyuan asked with a smile: "Why would the young master look for? Why not help you inquire about it? Except for those who often talk to others like us, this commoner can learn a few words of official words, and it is difficult for others to say a clear word to the young master."
Chen Kang smiled softly and said, "I want to find the old friend Murong Fu's Yanziwu Shenhe Village, but he has already turned into ancient times!"
Huang Sanyuan smiled and said, "Even if it is ancient times, there is a tomb. The young master comes from all over the world to worship. He is sincere, how can he return empty-handed? The villain will go and inquire now!" After that, he turned around and was about to run away.
How could Chen Kang play so much? He quickly stopped him and said, "No, there is no need!"
Huang Sanyuan ran and said, "Don't worry, young master, go and go quickly!"
"Hey! Hey!" Hey, shouting twice, and the person was gone.
Chen Kang sighed guiltily, and his joke made him feel disgusted, and said, "Ashu, give Huang Sanyuan more silver."
Liu Shu bowed and responded.
At this time, Huang Sanyuan ran back excitedly and smiled and shouted, "Young Master! I'm looking for it!"
