Smuggling Daming

Chapter 160 Wang Lun and Tang Bohu

On the official road from Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing to Suzhou Mansion, a group of people and horses are rapidly marching towards the south, and the leader of this group of people and horses is a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives in their hands. These brocade guards are riding on tall horses Above, Gu Pan was arrogant and awe-inspiring. When other pedestrians on the official road saw these Jinyiwei, they all avoided them one after another, for fear of getting into trouble.

After Jin Yiwei, there was a group of guards of honor for officials, but because they were on their way now, all the guards of honor were put away. In the middle of the team was a large carriage. Wang Lun, who had been restored to his post, was sitting in the carriage Through the car window, he saw the majestic appearance of those guards in front of him, but he couldn't help shaking his head secretly and said to himself: "At that time, people feared the guards like a tiger, but His Majesty only trusted these people. It's really a suffering for the people of the world!"

Wang Lun went out of Beijing with the imperial decree for Zhou Zhong's marriage. No, to be precise, he was kicked out of the capital by Emperor Zhengde, because not long after he left the palace, a team of Jinyi guards came to him with the imperial decree and brought Zhengde's verbal order made him leave the capital immediately without delay, so Wang Lun, who had just been released from prison, had to leave the capital in a hurry.

However, Emperor Zhengde still had something to eat. When he drove Wang Lun out of the capital, he did not forget to ask someone to arrange chariots and horses and guards of honor for him. On business, so the necessary ceremonial guards must not be missing.What Wang Lun didn't expect was that Zhengde even sent a team of Jinyiwei to go out of Beijing with him. As for the purpose and reason of this team of Jinyiwei going out of Beijing, he didn't know at all. Hundreds of households asked.As a result, the other party not only did not tell him, but even warned Wang Lun with a cold face, which made Wang Lun very angry. Since then, he has never paid attention to Jin Yiwei who opened the way.

Soon to arrive in Suzhou, Wang Lun couldn't help feeling excited. The next stop in Suzhou was Songjiang, and he would be able to see his relatives and friends, especially his daughter Jinxuan. This time, he also carried His Majesty's imperial decree on marriage.At that time, Zhou Zhong would no longer have to keep filial piety for his father, and he would be able to hold a grand wedding for him and Jin Xuan immediately, and his last wish would be fulfilled.

Thinking that his youngest daughter was about to get married, Wang Lun was both happy and a little sour, but it was not the first time he married his daughter, so the sourness in his heart was only fleeting.Soon, all that remained in my heart was the joy that my daughter was able to marry such an outstanding young man as Zhou Zhong.

But when Wang Lun was thinking about his daughter and Zhou Zhong's marriage, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves on the official road behind him, and then a fast horse galloped past their team. Only then did Wang Lun realize that the knight on horseback He was also wearing a flying fish suit, and it looked like he was a member of Jinyiwei.

I saw this Jin Yiwei galloping from behind on horseback overtook Wang Lun's carriage.Then he caught up with the Jinyiwei team in front, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Commander Shi has an important matter to explain. Who is Ma Baihu?"

Hearing what this Jinyiwei said, a tall and thin Jinyiwei from hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei team in front of Wang Lun's team immediately rode out, and then whispered a few words to that Jinyiwei, because Wang Lun was far away, and The voice of the other party also lowered, so Wang Lun didn't hear what Ma Baihu said to the messenger, but finally saw Ma Baihu nodding repeatedly.Then he patted his chest again, as if to guarantee something.

After the messenger finished explaining the matter.Immediately turned the horse's head and went back, while Ma Baihu turned his head to look at Wang Lun's carriage, then returned to the team, and continued on his way.Wang Lun didn't explain it to him when he saw the other party. It was probably an internal matter of Jinyiwei, so he didn't take it to heart.

Speaking of which, there are 120 Jinyiwei who went out of Beijing with Wang Lun this time, each led by two Baihu. The young Wu Shi Wu Baihu is a very burly and strong man. It is said that he is very brave and can cut off the head of a horse with a single knife. Not sure, but looking at Wu Baihu's body shape, it should be very credible.

When the sun was setting, Wang Lun and his team finally arrived at Suzhou City. However, Wang Lun left Beijing very low-key this time and did not notify the government along the way, so not many people knew about his return. Naturally, the officials didn't come out to greet him, but Wang Lun didn't have to worry about the accommodation, because the Jinyiwei in front had already informed the Jinyiwei in Suzhou City that the inn had been arranged, which was also the advantage of not traveling with the Jinyiwei much.

After driving for a whole day, Wang Lun was quite tired, so after arriving at the inn arranged by Jin Yiwei, he had a hasty dinner and rested. When he woke up the next day, he was still a little tired. After all, he was old. He kept urging him on his way again, Wang Lun was naturally a little bit overwhelmed.

According to Wang Lun's previous experience, after breakfast, that Ma Baihu personally invited him to get on the carriage, so after a hasty breakfast, he tidied up his clothes and prepared to go to the carriage. Ma Baihu came over and bowed to him: "Master Wang, yesterday we received an order to do something in Suzhou City, so I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today. If you have nothing to do, you can rest in the inn, or Just go for a walk in the city, as long as you can come back at night."

Wang Lun was already feeling very tired, but now he was delighted to hear that Ma Baihu was not in a hurry, so he said, "Alright, then today I will rest in the inn for a day. Let's go back to Songjiang tomorrow."

After Wang Lun finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back to his room to rest, but at this moment, suddenly a Jin Yiwei hurried over to report to Ma Baihu: "My lord, the local brothers have found Tang Yin's residence, Wu Baihu Let you go with him!"

"Well, good job, I'll go now!" Ma Baihu nodded after listening.

However, Wang Lun was taken aback when he heard the name Tang Yin, and immediately called Ma Liang to stop and said, "Ma Baihu, why are you looking for Tang Yin?"

Wang Lun lives in Songjiang, which is not far from Suzhou, so he also has many friends in Suzhou. Although Tang Yin and Tang Bohu are much younger than him, Wang Lun admires his talent very much, so the two can be regarded as friends who have forgotten each other. , now there are several paintings that Tang Bohu personally presented to him in his home.

Hearing Wang Lun's question, Ma Baihu also turned around to look at Wang Lun at this time, and then smiled and said, "Why, Mr. Wang also knows Tang Yin?"

"That's right. Not only does Wang know Tang Yin, but he's also a good friend who has known him for many years. I don't know why Ma Baihu is looking for him?" Wang Lun replied solemnly. At this moment, he was worried about Tang Bohu. After all, it was nothing to do with Jin Yiwei. Good thing, now that he admits that he and Tang Bohu are good friends, he just hopes that Ma Baihu can look at him for his sake and not embarrass Tang Bohu too much.

But what Wang Lun didn't expect was that when Ma Baihu heard that he and Tang Bohu were friends, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. This time I was ordered by my superiors to invite Tang Yin to Beijing. As for him I don't know what to do in Beijing, but I'm sure it's a good thing!"

Hearing that Ma Baihu was only ordered to invite Tang Yin to Beijing, Wang Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of what the Jinyiwei messenger said on the road yesterday, which made him feel uneasy and asked: "Ma Baihu Huh, Tang Yin went to Beijing with the order from the courier yesterday? What is the reason why Commander Qian gave the order himself?"

Regarding Wang Lun's question, Ma Baihu did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "Master Wang, if you are not at ease, you can go and see Tang Yin with us. We will convey the news, and you can also How about sharing this with your friends?"

Hearing Ma Baihu's suggestion, Wang Lun agreed without even thinking about it. For Jin Yiwei, he really didn't believe it, especially since this matter was related to his friends, although he might not be able to help , but at least when watching from the side, it can also make Ma Baihu not dare to mess around, otherwise his title of Du Yushi is not used to bluff people.

A wooden building stands at the entrance of a small alley in Wuqiufang, Suzhou. The wooden building facing the street looks very dilapidated and can barely accommodate people. The wooden building is divided into upper and lower floors. There are some calligraphy, paintings and embroidery hanging on the pavement facing the street.

A beautiful young woman is sitting behind the counter, embroidering a pair of Su embroidery on her hand with concentration. Occasionally, when someone enters the store, she will stand up and smile to answer. When the customer asks, she will patiently explain it to the customer.

The beautiful young woman in the store was named Jiuniang Shen, who was Tang Bohu's third and last wife.Shen Jiuniang was originally a famous local prostitute in Suzhou. Because she admired Tang Bohu's talent, she redeemed herself and married Tang Bohu as his wife. The reason why the two of them were able to get together is also very legendary.

Tang Bohu not only had a bumpy official career, but also had a rough relationship. His first wife was surnamed Xu. Unfortunately, he died of illness when he was 24 years old. At the same time, his parents and married sister also passed away successively, which caused him considerable trouble. Later, he married another wife, but his wife saw that he had no hope of official career after being able to leak the test papers, so she left. This was a painful blow to Tang Bohu at that time. , He even drank his sorrows with wine for a while, playing in the dust.

But it was also at Tang Bohu's most painful time that Shen Jiuniang, a famous prostitute in Suzhou, redeemed herself with the money she had saved from her private house, and then took the initiative to take care of Tang Bohu's life, encouraged Tang Bohu to cheer up with her own actions, and finally let him recover from that decadent life. He stepped out of life and began to devote all his energy to poetry and painting. It can be said that it was because of Shen Jiuniang's encouragement and support that Tang Bohu, who was famous all over the world in later generations, came into being. (To be continued.
