Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 193 Sword Madness
Fortunately, Ruan Jingxin only asked, and didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, which made Xie Yanniang heaved a sigh of relief.

She quickly changed the subject, lowered her head and said, "The most important thing now is to deal with the group of people following."

Ruan Jingxin seemed to see Xie Yanniang's intentions, and looked over with a half-smile: "What do you plan to do, Miss?"

Xie Yanniang also had some troubles, she couldn't kill her, so she could only teach her a little lesson.

She blinked, and suddenly had a good idea: "Please ask the adults to borrow a few minnies to help. Unfamiliar faces are best."

Without further ado, Ruan Jingxin asked Pang Yudi to pick out a few ordinary-looking guards.

Xie Yanniang gave a few simple instructions, everyone looked a little surprised, and with Ruan Jingxin's consent, they went out to do business one by one.

What she has to do is also simple, but it is a disaster.

Pang Yudi listened to it, and couldn't stop laughing.He thought that Xie Yanniang looked like a docile little girl, but who knew that she was full of bad taste.

He actually thought of asking the guards to buy a pretty money-grubbing lady at the opposite door, so that people covered half of their face, pointed at the confidant of the fifteenth prince and called Deng Tuzi.

Several guards changed into ordinary people's attire, heard the shouting, shouted without saying a word, rolled up their sleeves and took the lead to separate the guards around the confidants.

The others were filled with righteous indignation, and these people were disguised, who could tell that they were served by the nobles?

Everyone only knew that this Deng Tuzi was sneaky on weekdays, and he had to harm the women and girls nearby. He rolled up his sleeves, grabbed his stick, and beat Long Zhiyu, his confidant, without saying a word.

Even if they were far away, Xie Yanniang could still hear the same cry, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

This confidant is not a good person. Following Long Zhiyu, he sent many beautiful maids to him, tortured them to death, and helped clean up the mess.

Beat him hard, but it's cheap for him.

The guard also knew that it would be good to teach him a little lesson, and with a few words, two men who were watching nearby turned him away to the yamen, while he ran away directly.

The Fifteenth Prince had done it in the government office a long time ago, and his confidantes took out the tokens, and one by one came to untie the rope for him in fear, and the two people who sent him were naturally detained by the messenger.

Pang Yudi couldn't help but praise, this move is so clever, it's so convincing.

Xie Yanniang had asked him to investigate those two people, and they were clearly the secret whistle of the other two groups, so they were watching Ruan Jingxin and Xie Yanniang, so it was impossible for them to go far.

It just so happened that the fifteenth prince was beaten, and both of them were dragged into the water to watch a dog-eat-dog show.

But in the end, Xie Yanniang was surprised.

"The general means that one was released immediately, and the other was detained and sentenced?"

This was really beyond her expectation. It seems that the one who left had a big background behind it, and the one who stayed would be very unlucky.

Pang Yudi didn't hide anything, and told her bluntly: "The ones who left belonged to the emperor, and the ones that were detained belonged to the Fang family."

Xie Yanniang became more and more confused. It is possible that the emperor would send someone to watch Ruan Jingxin, but why did the Fang family come to watch Ruan Jingxin for no reason?

Could it be that the Fang family and the Prince Regent actually have problems with each other?

She looked at Ruan Jingxin suspiciously, could it be that he attacked the Hubu?

But Fang's family is also unlucky enough, there are two groups of people, one of them is too big to offend.One was so angry after being beaten that he naturally vented his anger.

The Fang family couldn't get better than the emperor, and they couldn't offend the fifteen princes, so they became scapegoats in the end, which is pitiful.

Fearing that the Emperor and the Fifteenth Prince would not spare the Fang family so easily, Xie Yanniang raised her eyebrows, is this a suicide attempt?

"The emperor intends to build the imperial mausoleum, but after years of war, the national treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Household Affairs can't afford such a large sum of money, so it can only politely shelve the matter." Ruan Jingxin revealed the news by pointing her finger on the table.

Xie Yanniang understood as soon as she heard it, the Fang family probably saw Ruan Jingxin spending a lot of money and wanted to get something from the regent.

If there is no reason, then keep staring and grab the regent's fox tail, and the household department will not have to worry about the money.

It's a good plan, but it's a pity that he really lost himself now.

Xie Yanniang sneered, such a bad idea, I don't know who came up with it.

Ruan Jingxin has been in the position of Prince Regent for so many years, is he someone who can easily be misunderstood?
Hubu was jumping over the wall in a hurry, probably because the emperor forced him to do nothing.

"Now that the emperor's people have been exposed, he won't be following Shi Da closely for the time being. The fifteenth prince also has scruples about the emperor, so he must stay away from him. The rest of the family have suffered a lot, so how dare they make any moves?" Xie Yanniang smiled. , the rest depends on whether Shi Da can send the things back quietly.

In a happy mood, she followed Ruan Jingxin into the carriage, walked around the capital, saw the beautiful scenery everywhere, and even set up a paper boat by the moat.

Xie Yanniang clasped her hands together, only hoping that everything will go well in the future and everything will come true.

When the two returned, it was already completely dark, and Shi Da had been waiting in front of the yard early.

Boxes still stained with fresh soil were placed in the yard one after another. Looking at the locks, it was obvious that they had not been opened yet.

Xie Yanniang was very satisfied, she praised Shi Da a few words, and asked Xue Ling to hand over several purses: "Let the brothers eat wine, hard work for them today."

"It's not hard, it's just that the girl won't open it to take a look?" Shi Da took the purse and asked suddenly.

Xie Yanniang directly called Xiaotong, and asked someone to carry these boxes to Ruan Jingxin's study: "I trust you, the locks of the boxes should be opened by adults."

After hearing her words, Shi Da put away his purse silently, wrinkled his nose, and did not take his eyes off the box.

He smelled a familiar smell, but Xie Yanniang didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask what was in the box.

Seeing Shi Da's reluctant eyes, Xie Yanniang smiled helplessly: "If your lord agrees, I will give you some."

Hearing this, Shi Da was satisfied, and left with his brothers.

Xue Ling looked amused: "This big stone is really a rock, hard and heavy, it always goes straight and can't turn around."

Xie Yanniang shook her head, looked at Shi Dayuan's back and replied: "It's easy to get along with such a person."

Because you don't have to worry about the deep meaning behind his back, you can rest assured to leave important matters to the other party.

For example, this time, when Shi Da traveled thousands of miles to transport the things back, he never thought of opening the box first out of curiosity.

Even though he had already guessed a few points, he still suppressed the desire in his heart, and there was no greed in his eyes.

Xie Yanniang left Xue Ling behind and went to the study alone.

Ruan Jingxin and Pang Yudi had been standing in the yard for a long time, one of the boxes was open, and they had obviously seen what was inside.

She smiled and said, "Are you satisfied when you see this gift?"

Ruan Jingxin smiled slightly: "What the girl sent must not be ordinary."

Pang Yudi stared at the box dumbfounded, and then came back to his senses: "Hey, how did the girl find that remote place, dig a hole, and there are so many good swords hidden in it!"

It's unbelievable that there are several big boxes.

If Xie Yanniang hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Pang Yudi would never have believed it even if Xie Yanniang had told her in advance.

He walked around the box, unable to hide the joy on his face: "The weapons of the Li family army are damaged too quickly, and the miser in the household department are deducting everything, and the military salary allocated is getting less and less. Now with these Good sword, brothers can kill a few more enemies on the battlefield!"

Xie Yanniang looked at Ruan Jingxin, and asked in a low voice, "How does your lord plan to deal with these things?"

In fact, she only recently remembered that there was a sword mound, which was buried hundreds of years ago.At the beginning, there was a family of swordsmiths nearby, but unfortunately the country was in civil strife, and the royal families were fighting each other. They didn't want to get involved with any side, so they buried their hard work for a hundred years in the sword mound.

If it wasn't for the previous life, the family was massacred and gradually declined, and the remaining children accidentally learned of the existence of this sword mound and sold it to Long Zhiyu, it is impossible for Xie Yanniang to know about this place.

She didn't know if the prodigal son had already discovered the sword mound and passed the news to Long Zhiyu's ears, so she had to act first, and immediately asked Shi Da to dig up the sword mound and sent over boxes of good swords.

If it is distributed to the Li family army in this way, and the emperor and fifteen princes see it, it will be a hidden danger after all.

Xie Yanniang was slightly worried until Ruan Jingxin said, "These swords cannot be kept, they can only be given away."

Pang Yudi couldn't hide his disappointment, and said anxiously: "Boss, there is a shortage of weapons in the army, why don't we bury these boxes again, so we don't see the light of day?"

In his opinion, a good sword must be used in order to reflect its value.

If it is placed with dust, no matter how good the sword is, it will only look like a decoration in the end, but it looks good when placed aside.

"It can't be used now, but it's okay to keep a few." Ruan Jingxin picked two of them and handed them to Pang Yudi.

The latter took the two swords and loved them so much that he forgot about those boxes long ago, never mentioning leaving these swords for other soldiers.

"My lord, can you leave one for Shi Da?" Xie Yanniang met Ruan Jingxin's gaze and asked, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Send out these good swords, and Shi Da can make another batch of them." Here comes the good sword."

"That's a good idea!" Pang Yudi clapped his palms and smiled, touching the two swords in his hands, thinking about killing the enemy on the battlefield, without having to worry about not having a weapon at hand.

Ruan Jingxin nodded slightly: "Yes, the girl's idea is very good."

Xie Yanniang hurriedly called Shi Da over and asked him to pick a sword himself.

Shi Da stared at the swords in the box with bright eyes, buried his head in picking and choosing, and finally chose the best sword, playing with it in his hand contentedly, wishing he could make ten or eight similar swords immediately Come.

Pang Yudi leaned over, and the two muttered and commented on the good sword in their hands, and they quickly walked away together.

Xie Yanniang shook her head, she really is a pair of sword idiots.
