The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 260

"Young master, the flying pigeons in the capital are sending letters. Last night, Chu Jiguan led thirty gunmen out of the city overnight. They disappeared. The Shenjitai is following them."

"Tell them not to chase too closely and just know where they are going."

"promise."

At this time, Shangguan Qing was dressed up as a traveling scholar, accompanied only by An Lu who was dressed as a servant, and the rest were disguised as different travelers, walking not far before and after Shangguan Qing, the pursuers led by Chu Jiguan had already After chasing out the boundaries of the capital, they are still wandering around in the capital area.

Shangguanqing's first stop was Songshan County, which was the address of the new iron factory, and there were many bad iron mines in the area.

When An Lu went out to spread the news, Shangguan Qing was sitting in a tea shed by the side of the road drinking tea. The spring had just turned warm, and there were layers of green malt in the fields, which looked very gratifying.In the past winter, the heavy snow had tormented many houses inside and outside the capital, and injured many people's lives. In return, there was sufficient meltwater in the fields. It can be predicted that this will be another bumper year.

While drinking tea, Shangguan Qing listened to the jokes going on in the tea shed.

The owner of the tea shed is a man dressed as a scholar. He does not operate the tea shed for profit, but to listen to some ghost stories from all over the world. As long as the stories he tells are wonderful, he can enjoy free refreshments.

Shangguan Qing heard that it was interesting, so she also sat in some.

A dark-skinned old man was telling a ghost legend about skinned dolls. It could be heard that the story was not satisfactory, and there were many unreasonable things in it. Even so, it still attracted many audiences.

It can be seen that the owner of the tea shed is not very interested, but he still waives the lobbyist's tea money.

At this time An Lu trotted in from outside, went to Shangguan Qing and said in a low voice, "My lord, the road ahead is blocked, it is said that Mrs. An Ronghou is returning to Beijing."

Although An Lu's voice was not loud, some people around her heard it. Shangguan Qing pretended not to know and asked, "Who is this Mrs. An Ronghou?"

Immediately someone spoke up and asked, "Is this young master a foreigner?"

"Xiaosheng Lingdujiang is from the west of Beijing. This time, he came to the capital for a study tour. I heard that there is an iron factory in Songshan County covering an area of ​​[-] mu. The stone pillars are like a forest. Every day, the black clouds overwhelm the top, which is very spectacular." Shangguan Qing said Edited new identity.

The Shangguan family's ancestral home is in the west of Beijing, and they can be considered a big family in the west of Beijing, so she is not lying.

The person who spoke said, "So it's Mr. Ling, and the old man Tian Lin is from Songshan County."

"Mr. Tian." Shangguan Qing bowed his hand in return.

Being honored as Mr., Tian Lin was in a good mood and spoke politely.

"Madam Rong Anhou is the daughter of the current Prime Minister Shangguan Wenhe, and her husband is An Ronghou Ma Tao from the northwest."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, someone immediately corrected him: "Your news is too slow. Just this morning, His Majesty issued an order that Shangguan Wenhe has been promoted to Pingzhang's military affairs. From now on, he should be honored as Shangguan Pingzhang. Here, people from the capital city of Xu Zhengyang, this is going to Songshan County to buy a batch of ironware for sale."

"So it's Mr. Xu." Shangguan Qing respectfully called Mr. Xu again without hesitation.

According to the teachings of a foreign religion in Ling Ling's memory, people should speak more words that build others up, because people will become better because of your words, and the world will become a better place.

The three immediately formed a small circle, talking about the iron factory in Songshan County, the newly built coal wharf, the cement processing project for the capital's urban defense, and the imperial road that connects the three places and can run parallel with four or two carriages.

"I heard that Shangguan Pingzhang presided over the construction of these?" Shangguan Qing told a rumor from other places.

The things she did in the capital became Shangguan Wenhe's political achievements after being spread outside the capital, which won a good reputation for Shangguan Wenhe among the people, and made the warlords of the outer routes very jealous. Shangguan Wenhe should die early, and don't let the court continue to grow stronger.

Sure enough, someone immediately corrected Shangguan Qing's words.

"It's not Shangguan Pingzhang who does these things, but Shangguan Pingzhang's second daughter. The current third prince Han Princess Shangguan Qing is the younger sister of Mrs. An Ronghou who will pass by later. If you want to talk about the second daughter of Shangguan, it's the capital of the capital. It is rumored that she has the strength of thousands of troops and is proficient in strange skills, so she can make so many things that have never been seen before." Xu Zhengyang bragged that Shangguan Qing's image was completely distorted.

Tian Lin shook his head together with a group of audience, obviously they all knew Xu Zhengyang's deceitful character, and they didn't correct him.

At this time, the owner of the tea shed came over to talk and asked Shangguan Qing if he had any good anecdotes about ghosts and ghosts in the west of Beijing.

Shangguan Qing thought it was interesting, and searched hard in her mind, and found a copy of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" in Ling Ling's memory, and told the story of the first volume of the opening chapter, "Examination of the Imperial City".

In just one short article, in Ling Ling's memory, these stories are more of historical value.

But in the eyes of the people in the tea shed, they were strange and ruthless, they all praised the protagonist's good life again and again, and the owner of the tea shed praised him again and again, and asked Shangguan Qing to talk more.

At this time, guests entered the tea shed again, but the avenue in front of them was blocked, and they had to wait for An Ronghou's team to pass before they could pass.

Shangguan Qing was puzzled and asked: "When I came from the capital, didn't I say that the post road is orderly on one side? How come the entire avenue is occupied."

Xu Zhengyang said with a smile: "That was in the past, since Concubine Han stepped down from the post of Luantai Secretary, no one has been in charge of the post road, now you can go any way, if there are no dignitaries passing by, it is still very accessible. "

"It's better than before!" an old man sighed.

The owner of the tea shed was impatient to listen to those, and begged Shangguan Qing to say more.

Shangguan Qing thought for a while and said: "All I know is from an ancient book, this book is called "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio". Having said that, in this way Xiaosheng can be worthy of his predecessors, and he won't lose his character as a scholar."

Everyone said: "This is natural."

Shangguan Qing then started from the second story "The Man in the Ear" of the first volume of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" and didn't stop until the last story at the end of the scroll, "Snake Addiction".

The tea shed was full of people at this moment, they were all quietly listening to Shangguan Qing's storytelling.

Shangguan Qing took a sip from the teacup and said, "That's all."

"Is there no more?" Everyone was a little desperate. It was rare for them to hear such a wonderful story, and suddenly there was no more to say, and their hearts were itching unbearably. They really hoped that Shangguan Qing would continue like this.

It was also very hard for Shangguan Qing to use his vitality to change his voice.

"Everyone knows that these stories were collected by predecessors. This volume of 36 stories is already very rare. Xiaosheng really can't remember more stories."
