Chapter 47 The conspiracy inside and outside the palace - the noodle restaurant became the main scene
But what Yunxi didn't notice was that among the seven people in the group, apart from the person from the southwest whom he felt familiar, there was another person he should also feel familiar with; there was another person he had never seen before, but that person was I am very familiar with Yunxi.
The person from the southwest region obviously also recognized Yunxi. You know, although Yunxi came out today and was close to a public trip, he did not show his own sign. He just said that he was a county king. At this time, Beijing could be called There are many county kings: because Lao Zhu likes to call his grandchildren to the capital for unified teaching and at the same time enjoy family happiness, there are now twenty or thirty people in the capital, including the prince and prince, who can be called county kings; if not If you really see Yunxi, it is impossible to identify who he is.
The middle-aged man who recognized Yunxi and was decorated with Yunnan people said to the people around him: "This prince is Zhu Yunxi, who is about to become the emperor's grandson. I saw him at the funeral of General Mu, and he replaced him that day. The emperor expressed his condolences to General Mu and sat in a very conspicuous position. I will never admit his mistake."
The person listening to him at this time was the girl who had been here yesterday at noon. The girl stared at Yunxi and asked: "Uncle Hua, don't you mean that most of the emperor's family members in the Central Plains grew up in deep palaces? , are all weak? But this Zhu Yunxi looks quite strong." Not to mention, Yunxi didn't like reading and practicing martial arts since he was a child, but he is in good health, with neat eight-pack abs.
At this time, Yunxi and others had already gone out and mounted their horses, and they walked into the store. The seven of them were the people who had booked the private room. The Han man who was accompanying them went to the counter and called Uncle Hua in a small voice. He continued to say to the girl: "Ping'er, that's probably because the Ming Dynasty has just been founded and the martial arts culture is still there." The girl called Ping'er was noncommittal.
A group of seven of them, under the guidance of the waiter, went upstairs to the ground floor room. The waiter who brought them up happened to be the one who had delivered food to them last time. Because such a group of people were rare in the capital, they had no memory of them. Youxin knew that they didn't like the presence of others, so after asking everyone what they ordered, they hurried down and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After confirming that no one could eavesdrop on the conversation, the few people present began to talk.
At this time, in the kitchen downstairs, Tang Bohe was chattering to his wife: "Look, this time His Highness the Third Highness came to our store openly. We can definitely say that this is what His Highness three likes to eat." noodle……"
Madam Mo interrupted him irritably and said: "Although His Highness the Third Highness came in public today, has anyone mentioned His Highness's name? Those guards have always just said that He is His Highness the County Prince, and the others are all us. We guessed it, what should we say? Furthermore, His Highness's lack of publicity means that he may not want to be known to have meals in the palace. If we really publicize it, there is no guarantee that it will not arouse His Highness's resentment, and it will be self-defeating. "When Tang Bohe heard this, he felt that he was just thinking about good things. What his wife said made sense, so his thoughts would always remain just thoughts.
Tang Bohe walked back to the counter with some frustration, sat on the counter and looked at the store. At this time, Zhang Li, the waiter on the second floor, passed by the counter with a few dishes of side dishes and said hello to Tang Bohe, who also responded.
The waiter had already walked a few steps when he suddenly came back and said to Tang Bohe: "The group that came yesterday had some guests from Yunnan Yi people, and they are here again today."
Tang Bohe suddenly regained his energy, which was still a little sluggish just now, and asked: "Are you sure they are the same guests from yesterday? You can't be mistaken."
Waiter Zhang Li replied: "That group of customers are so unique, how could I have misjudged them? Besides, they came to our store yesterday, not a long time ago, so I won't remember them wrong. It's just that when we came yesterday, there were two Yi people from Yunnan, and today there should be three."
Tang Bohe's interest was immediately piqued. But he remembered that his wife would definitely not agree, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity and was very confused.
As for the possibility of being discovered by eavesdropping on their conversation, Tang Bohe didn't particularly care. There was a facility in their store that was difficult to detect and could eavesdrop on the conversation in the private room on the second floor - a copper listening tube.
It turns out that in Chapter 19, Chen Xing and Yunxi said that Tang Bohe was not bragging when he said that their ancestor worked for Tuotuo, the Prime Minister of Meng Yuan Dynasty. Their ancestor really worked as a cook in Tuotuo's mansion.
Tingguan'er has existed for a long time in Chinese history, but only the upper class knew about it. Ordinary people did not know about it. The ancestors of the Tang family also knew about such a thing by chance and saw the real thing once. Later, they were misunderstood. The Yuan Empire was driven out of the Central Plains, and the remaining people fled to the northern grasslands. The ancestors of the Tang family thought it was not a good idea to follow them to the grasslands, so they took advantage of the chaos and ran away. Then Tang Bohe's father's family came to the capital.
After they settled down in the capital and opened a small noodle shop, Tang's father remembered the tube tube he had seen and thought it might be useful, so he installed it in his store. However, it has never been put to serious use until now. Pass.
Tang Bohe was in a state of scratching his mind like a cat's claws. At this time, Mrs. Mo came out and said: "The food in our store is only enough for two days. We have to buy more. I'll go out to buy some food."
Tang Bohe said: "I'd better go."
Mrs. Mo said: "No, no, Chen'er (their eldest son) is fifteen and not too young anymore. Just let Chen'er accompany me. I will bring two boys to push the cart to help get the vegetables. Just stay in the store and watch the store."
Tang Bohe didn't make any further comments. When his wife Mo had already left the store, he suddenly thought: 'Now no one in the store can stop me.'
Then Tang Bohe couldn't bear it anymore and asked a waiter to watch at the counter. He went back to the bedroom, opened the hidden compartment, turned on the switch, opened the lid, and exposed the tube inside.
Tang Bohe stretched his ears to the tube marked "Di Zihao" and began to listen to their conversation.
Just listen to a male voice with a strange accent: "...This poison has been passed down in our village for countless generations. It has always been used by the people in my village and has never been sold to others."
A woman with a Beijing accent said: "You gave us this poison, and it's impossible for us to figure out the secret recipe of this poison. Your poison has been passed down for so many generations. According to your own words, it has never been cracked by others. Yes, you have so little confidence in the secret recipe that you think you will let us solve it?"
Another woman who spoke Suzhou dialect continued: "Besides, this is the capital, and you are from Yunnan. These are two places with completely different landscapes, and it is impossible for us to harm you with poison."
Then there was a burst of words that Tang Bohe couldn't understand at all. It might be the words from Yunnan, but Tang Bohe couldn't understand a word anyway. The sound of these words lasted for a long time. Just when Tang Bohe was about to lose his patience, another A male voice with a strange accent appeared: "We can sell you the poison, but we can only give you one share of the antidote."
The woman with the Beijing accent said: "Okay, just one portion."
The man with a strange accent added: "However, the price cannot be the price mentioned before. It must be doubled to one hundred taels of gold." In the early Ming Dynasty, one tael of gold was exchanged for about five taels of silver.
There was no sound from the tube for a while, and then the woman with a Beijing accent said, "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels."
The male voice with a strange accent said again: "We still want you to exchange all the gold for things for us. We don't want gold; you also have to transport the things to Yunnan or Guangxi."
The woman with a Suzhou accent said angrily: "Don't push your limits. The price we gave you is already very high, and you still make so many demands for this and that. It's too much!"
The male voice with a strange accent appeared again: "That's all we have to ask for, and we won't add any more, but if you don't agree, then that's it."
The woman with a Beijing accent gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, we all accept it. However, we can buy things now, but we won't be able to reach Yunnan for a while. I want you to sell us the poison and antidote now."
A male voice with a strange accent: "That won't work. You Han people are so cunning and untrustworthy; you have to buy everything and then set off, and our people will follow you, so that I can give you the poison."
"Okay, then it's settled. You go back first. Leave the list of things you want, and we'll have to discuss it."
"Okay, let's leave first." Then there was a noise, and I think it was three people from Yunnan who had left.
Next, Tang Bohe was about to stop eavesdropping, but the first sentence he heard surprised him.
