Tang Bohe and his wife Mo originally wanted to go to the Founding Father's Mansion on Hongwu Street this morning to make a last-ditch effort, but their eldest son suddenly came down with a fever in the morning. Tang Bohe hurriedly went to ask a doctor to see a doctor. The chaos continued until noon. At the end of the day, he drank medicine and went to sleep, which affected his business at noon.
Tang Bohe and his wife took a nap for a while. After a while, they got up, tidied up, and walked to the Founding Palace. It was also a long way from the Shandong Noodle Shop to the Founding Palace. When they walked to the Founding Palace, it was already afternoon. It was the second quarter of Shenshi. Tang Bohe and Mr. Mo took a break to take a breath, walked to the side door on the right side of the mansion door, and knocked on the door. The sound was extremely loud in the empty street, waking up countless people who were still there. Sleeping door.
However, Menzi A of the Founding Duke's Mansion was not sleeping. Menzi A opened the side door and saw Tang Bohe and his wife knocking on the door. He said in as calm a tone as possible: "This is the Founding Duke's Mansion. What do you want to do?"
Mrs. Mo walked up, bowed and said, "Brother, we are the owners of Shandong Noodle House in the north of the city. We have something very important to report to the founding father-in-law."
Menzijia said with a calm expression: "I wonder if this lady has anything to report to my wife?"
Mo said: "This matter is so important that we can only report it to the founding father-in-law in person."
Menzijia asked again: "I wonder if your family is related to my Chang family?"
Mrs. Mo replied: "I am not a relative of your family."
Menzijia couldn't help it anymore: You are an ordinary citizen, and you are not a relative of the Chang family. You say that you want to inform my wife about something important, but you don't say what it is. How could I inform you? If it weren't for the eldest master ( After Chang Mao (Chang Mao) was demoted to Longzhou, the second master and his second wife repeatedly warned him not to be arrogant. If he violated the rules, he would be punished and he would have already lost his temper.
But now his tone became not so polite, and he said: "My wife is not in the house now, you can come back another day."
When Mrs. Mo heard this, she knew that he was trying to shirk the situation, but she still wanted to make her last effort: "Brother, don't you know that the third master of your house is here? It's the same for us to meet the third master."
After listening to her words, Menzijia concluded that it was someone who had some connection with the house in the past, maybe he had fought with the late old man, but now he was down and out and came to fight against Qiu Feng. Otherwise, how could he meet any master?
So he said: "Unfortunately, today all the masters of the house have gone to pay homage to King Kaiping first, and no one is in the house."
This time Old Tang and Mr. Mo really had nothing to say. They had already said that the whole family was gone, who else could you turn to? Tang Bohe and his wife Mr. Mo knew clearly that Men Zijia was talking nonsense, so they had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
On the way home, the couple was quite depressed and walked on the road dullly, not wanting to talk.
Back at the noodle shop, the couple began to work listlessly. It was almost dark at this time. The winter nights are long, and the officials get off work earlier. After a while, it will be time to eat in the evening. It is also very difficult to prepare ingredients. Busy.
Sure enough, after a while, all kinds of middle and lower-level officers who were off duty swarmed in, flooding the small noodle shop. Tang Bohe and his wife Mo Shi also used their busyness to prevent themselves from thinking anxiously.
At this time, three people walked in from outside the gate, one of whom was wearing eunuch clothes, and the other two were wearing palace guard clothes.
The three of them were Wang Bu and the two guards who escorted him to the school grounds in the north of the city. Wang Bu was sent to deliver documents. After delivering the documents to the school grounds, he became hungry.
If he were in the palace, he would have to stay hungry if he was hungry. How could he eat before His Highness? But now that he was outside the palace, Wang Bu could be more casual.
At this time, he remembered the Shandong noodle restaurant that he and Yunxi had eaten at last time. Although he didn't know where his home was, he was probably from the northwest generation and liked to eat noodles. He felt that since last time The noodles were not bad, so why not go there to eat them? So he took two guards to Shandong Noodle House to eat noodles.
Because he was in a hurry and he didn't dare to compete with Yunxi, he found a table in the hall on the first floor, ordered a bowl of noodles, and ate with the guards.
Tang Bohe, who was busy in the hall on the first floor, saw him at a glance and was startled. Then he hurried to the kitchen.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he took the hand of his wife Mo, who was also busy, and pulled her down to the counter in the hall on the first floor. He pointed at Wang Bu who was eating and said, "Look at that, is that eunuch the same as last time?" With the eunuch who came to our place to have dinner with His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."
Mrs. Mo was still wondering why he suddenly pulled her to the counter. After hearing this, she immediately stared at Wang Bu seriously. After a while, she happily said to Old Tang: "Yes, he is the one who came to our place to eat with His Highness the Emperor Taisun last time. Man. He was wearing a guard uniform last time, so I couldn't recognize him at first glance, but there is no doubt that he is that man."
Tang Bohe also said happily: "Great, we have a solution."
Over there, Wang Bu, who was eating noodles, felt someone staring at him. He raised his head and saw that the boss and his wife were staring at him and saying something from time to time.
Wang Bu was confused and frowned. When the guard next to him saw that he looked bad, he stood up and said to Tang Bohe: "Boss Tang, why are you staring at our prince?" He didn't use too harsh a tone. After all, he also lives here and knows Shandong Noodle House, so his tone is quite gentle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang Bohe heard him speak, he walked straight towards them. When Tang Bohe came closer, but before the guards could say anything, Tang Bohe bowed to the king and asked at the same time: "Are you in the presence of His Majesty the Emperor Taisun?" The prince who serves beside you?"
Wang Bu frowned, but he instinctively felt that this person had something important to talk to him, so he stopped the second guard from scolding him and replied: "I am indeed a person serving His Highness the Emperor Taisun."
Tang Bohe knelt down and said: "My lord, the common people have something important to report to your lord. This matter is of great importance. Please come with me to the backyard to talk."
Wang Bu's right eyelid twitched! He suddenly felt that something was not good. As the old saying goes: if the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster, it seems that there is going to be disaster. So without hesitation, he followed Tang Bohe to the backyard. The two guards followed. superior.
When they arrived at the backyard, Tang Bohe took Wang Bu into a side room. Two guards were waiting outside the room.
Wang Bu asked: "It's just you and me here now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
Tang Bohe knelt down with a 'pop' sound and said: "Reporting to the father-in-law, there is someone who wants to do harm to His Highness the Emperor Taisun!"
Wang Bu was startled! He stepped forward and put his hands on Tang Bohe's shoulders and said, "What is going on! Please tell me clearly!"
Tang Bohe said: "On the 22nd, a group of strange customers came to my store...and then we were helpless when we saw you, the prince."
After Wang Bu listened to what he said, he didn't react for a long time and stood blankly.
Tang Bohe said anxiously: "My lord, maybe they will poison your highness tonight, please go back and inform your highness!"
Only then did Wang Bu realize that the most important thing now was to inform His Highness!
He said, "His Highness will never treat you badly in the future," and rushed out of the wing, taking two guards with him. He didn't even eat the remaining noodles. He rushed out of the noodle shop, got on his horse, and galloped towards the palace.
