ordinary people's house

When they arrived in Hangzhou, Escort Yun delivered the escorted goods to the store, and planned to pick up the goods from the store he had agreed to. After a few days of rest, he returned to the capital. Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan found an inn to stay in, a tea house near the West Lake. There are too many, Xiao Yunlang has considered for a long time, but he still doesn't know how to choose.

On the second day, before Xiao Yunlang got up, Lin Yulan had already put on her clothes, Xiao Yunlang asked in a daze, "Where are you going?"

"Walk around and find out where the tea house is good."

"……Um."

As soon as Lin Yulan opened the door and went out, Xiao Yunlang sat up, put on his clothes silently, took out the greeting card, went out and asked Xiaoer where the commander was, and hired a carriage to go there.

He recalled the life of General Wang along the way, but General Wang had not returned to the capital for many years, and Xiao Yunlang could not remember when General Wang and the Xiao family had made friends, but in order to prevent anything from happening to Lin Yulan, Xiao Yunlang I can only go to him.

When he arrived at the commander, Xiao Yunlang just stood outside the gate and took a few glances, when two people came over with halberds and asked, "Who are you? What are you here for?"

Xiao Yunlang said: "I'm from the capital, looking for General Wang."

"General Wang is not something everyone can see."

Xiao Yunlang took out the greeting card and said sincerely: "I would like to ask this elder brother to report for me, just say that my surname is Xiao."

"Surname Xiao?" The man took the card suspiciously.

"Yes, my surname is Xiao, and I had contacts with General Wang when I was in Beijing."

The two murmured for a while, and Xiao Yunlang heard someone say, "Could it be that the general's old friend came here?" Xiao Yunlang didn't say a word, but just waited patiently. After a while, one of the soldiers said: "Then you wait here , I’ll go in and report to you, but I can’t guarantee whether General Wang will see you or not.”

Xiao Yunlang said: "Thank you, big brother."

Another soldier guarded Xiao Yunlang, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Do you really know the general?"

Xiao Yunlang nodded and said: "General Wang has an old relationship with my father."

"Hi! There are a lot of old things like this, let me tell you first, our general really doesn't meet everyone."

Xiao Yunlang said patiently: "General Wang had contacts with my family when my grandfather was still around."

The man still didn't believe it. The current General Wang is a general who guards a place. Every year, the number of people who come to seek friendship with the general is uncountable. They are either old friends or former colleagues. The general dismissed them all when he said "the military is busy" He said coldly: "You are also interesting to talk about. First, you had an old relationship with General Wang, and then your father had an old relationship with the general. Now it is your grandfather who knows our general. Will your great-grandfather come out later? We How can you recognize so many people when the general just stands there?"

Xiao Yunlang smiled awkwardly, didn't say much, just lowered his head and waited patiently.

Not long after, not only the previous soldier, but also another young officer, he looked Xiao Yunlang up and down, and said: "Come with me."

Xiao Yunlang nodded and smiled, "Okay."

After the two left, the two soldiers discussed: "Is it possible that you really know our general?"

"Did you see what was written on the greeting card?"

"How can I dare to look... Besides, I only know those few words, the surname is Xiao... Hey, did our general belong to the Xishan Camp in the capital before? The general of the Xishan Camp was surnamed Xiao."

"The one just now... doesn't look like a general, isn't the Xiao family a family of generals?"

"Maybe it's a side relative, who knows, let's not talk about it if we don't know."

Xiao Yunlang followed the man and asked, "Dare to ask the general's name?"

"I can't be called a general, but Master Xiao calls me Wu Liu."

"Sixth Angkor."

Wu Liu smiled, led him to a room, and said, "General Wang is inside, Young Master Xiao, please come in."

Xiao Yunlang leaned forward and said, "Thank you very much."

Wu Liu didn't say much, and stepped back, Xiao Yunlang knocked on the door, "Is General Wang in there?"

I only heard a thick male voice inside saying: "Just come in."

Xiao Yunlang pushed open the door, and saw a man in black warrior uniform sitting behind the desk. There were three swords on the weapon rack behind him, adding a bit of chill to the room for no reason. The man didn't say a word, Looking sharply at Xiao Yunlang, Xiao Yunlang thought for a while and said, "You are Brother Wang... no, Uncle Wang?" Da, also intersected with Xiao Su's peers, which is a common thing in the army.

The coldness in Wang Yangdong's eyes receded, and he put on a smile, "Don't call me uncle, let's call you big brother. Your big brother Mu Lang also calls me big brother."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said, "Then I'll call you big brother too."

Wang Yangdong put down the book, stretched lazily, leaned on the chair, and said lightly: "Well, how are your father and brothers?"

"My father is physically strong, my brothers perform their duties, and there is a little sister who is also lively and cute."

Wang Yangdong smiled and said: "General Xiao is always strong... Well, you came to see me, you didn't come to say hello, did you?"

Xiao Yunlang didn't expect him to bring it up so early, he hesitated for a while, and asked, "Brother Wang, I don't know much about the affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Is there any change here in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

Wang Yangdong's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became serious, and he asked, "What do you know?"

Xiao Yunlang gritted his teeth and said, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yangdong had already said: "You can't get involved in this matter. No matter what you know, forget it for me, and go back to your capital after a while!"

When Xiao Yunlang heard it, his face turned pale. Wang Yangdong looked at it and said coldly: "What have you done? Or... what have others done?"

Xiao Yunlang lowered his head and said softly: "I don't know either, but I feel something is wrong. When I was in the capital, I saw that my husband had something to hide from me. His eldest brother was executed last year, but the elder brother of the Lin family I have a lot of friends, and there are Qi Wang and others behind me, but after all, I am in Beijing, and my brother supports everything. Although I am worried, I have never been so afraid. Now I am away from home. I don’t know anyone, and I don’t know where to find them Whoever helps, I don't even dare to ask him to stop... Before I left, my father told me that you are a trustworthy person, so I can only come to you."

Wang Yangdong listened to him quietly before asking: "Why didn't you tell him to stop? Although I live in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I know what happened in the capital. The emperor spared Lin Yulan's life. You can go and live your life with peace of mind." .”

Xiao Yunlang looked at him, and said calmly: "I thought so too at first. They didn't let me know what happened afterwards, but I knew in my heart that Mr. Xianggong is now working for the emperor and my eldest brother. On one side is my husband, on the other hand My senior brother and elder brother... I know they are all taking risks, I can't do anything, I can only pretend I don't know."

Wang Yangdong was silent for a long time before he said, "Do you know Jingyuan Tea House?"

Lin Yulan frowned, "I've heard that this is a well-known tea house in Hangzhou, and many of the tea produced are for the royal family."

"Not long ago, the person sent by the emperor to investigate this tea plantation disappeared. Afterwards, I also received a secret letter from Beijing. The emperor suspected that this place has been controlled by others. As the commander of Zhejiang, it is difficult for me to do it. For investigation, the emperor can no longer choose people to investigate with great fanfare, otherwise the result will be the same."

Xiao Yunlang understood, nodded and said: "So my husband and I are here to buy tea leaves on the face of it, so we won't be suspected."

Wang Yangdong took out a letter and said: "I received Mu Lang's letter a few days ago, and he told me to protect you no matter what. You know well, I will send you back to Beijing when I understand what is going on here."

Xiao Yunlang sighed and said: "I understand, thank you very much, Brother Wang, I will go back now, and when the matter is over, we will return to the capital."

Wang Yangdong frowned, "Are you going back to the inn?"

"Ah."

Wang Yangdong said: "You may have been targeted, the inn is not safe, you should stay here."

Xiao Yunlang shook his head.

"You want to go back to find Lin Yulan?"

"Well...he may have gone back."

"No! If you're worried, I'll go find him, bring him here, or explain the situation, I can't let you go out alone!" Wang Yangdong frowned.

Xiao Yunlang stood silently for a while, then insisted: "I have to go back."

"Stubborn! Come here! Look at Young Master Xiao!"

"Hey, you—" Xiao Yunlang was angry and impatient, but Wang Yangdong read the book leisurely, and said flatly: "I don't have anything to do now, I will ask someone to leave a message later, you will live here Bar."

"But……"

Wang Yangdong smiled and said, "I'm here to see how capable Lin Yulan is."

Xiao Yunlang originally wanted to ask for help, but he didn't expect to fold himself here. He was helplessly locked into the room by two thick maids. After the room was locked, he walked around anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. It was almost noon, Xiao Yunlang felt that they had just come to Hangzhou, if Yulan had taken action, it would not be today, how anxious he would be when he went back to the inn to find that he was not there!

I knew I wouldn't be here!

Wang Yangdong is in the light, Lin Yulan is in the dark, Zhu Xian wants to pull out the poisonous weeds hidden in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the process cannot be simple, Xiao Mulang does not want Xiao Yunlang to be in danger, but without Xiao Yunlang, it is unconvincing, Xiao Yunlang is doing it in Beijing. He has done his homework and memorized the business scriptures, and he speaks like a businessman. The people hidden in Suzhou and Hangzhou don't want to touch the people of Xiao's family, and they also think that they may simply come to collect tea. Safe to now.
