Chapter 559 November 18, the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu(2/2)
"We're not doing business today. Let's go to Old Man Liu's place to eat. His food is more delicious than the old man's."
Zhang Hui took the time to put the food in the bowl into his mouth, while the old man had already started to put it away. When a customer came, he would wave and point to Old Liu's stall in the distance.
When Zhang Hui had just finished eating, the old man's voice came over.
"Have you finished eating? Hurry up and don't delay me from going home to pick up my grandson."
Zhang Hui rolled his eyes, put the copper plate on the table into his sleeve, carried the bowl to the old man's boiler, filled a ladle of water, rinsed the bowl and spoon, put it into the basket, and started to help the old man clean up.
Set up a stall.
He looked at the busy old man and knew clearly in his heart that the old man had noticed something strange and understood that he was not a storyteller.
But this old man.
It is true that the older you get, the better you become.
"This is the old man's home. You have to remember it. Don't forget to pick up the old man and take him to the palace in the evening. I have never even entered the yamen in my life. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to go to the palace."
Outside a courtyard somewhere in the city, an old man put his stall in a corner, pulled Zhang Hui and whispered, his face showing joy and expectation.
Zhang Hui nodded: "Don't worry, wait for me to come find you."
After that, Zhang Hui exited the courtyard and watched the old man enter the house inside.
Then he walked to the base of the wall, reached out and took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it away.
There was a clang in the courtyard.
The silver ingot fell into the old man's pile of things.
After doing all this, Zhang Hui felt relieved.
There are no eggs left under the overturned nest.
We still don’t know what kind of chaos and chaos will occur in Taiyuan City tonight.
The old man is an honest man and has been a good man all his life. He should not have lost this good family before his grandson has grown up and started a family.
When he walked out of the alley where the old man's house was, two of his subordinates were already waiting at the entrance of the alley.
Zhang Hui pressed the bamboo hat on his head and whispered: "Send two people to watch here tonight to prevent anything from happening."
The subordinates waiting here are a little confused. Baihuguan does not seem to be such a compassionate person.
However, the rules within Jinyiwei are the strictest, with a clear hierarchy between top and bottom.
The two men nodded immediately: "I understand."
When the three of them walked to the main street in the city, they saw that it was already very busy.
Even though Taiyuan City was sealed off by the emperor's grandson, the government offices in Taiyuan City still paid enough attention to the birthday of the Prince of Jin.
The streets are decorated with lanterns and streamers everywhere, as if celebrating the New Year in advance is a festive and lively affair.
Today is also a beautiful day, the sky is cloudless.
Red lanterns were hung high and lined up on both sides of the street in front of the majestic Jin Prince's Mansion.
At this time, it had just passed noon, and officials, gentry, and merchants from all over the city had already started driving carriages to deliver truckloads of congratulatory gifts to the Jin Palace.
There are too many people and too many gifts.
As a result, some areas in the city began to experience congestion.
Zhang Hui and the other three were walking along the roadside, and he suddenly said: "The cripple's wife is also pregnant. We don't know what will happen in the city tonight, so we should send someone over to keep an eye on her to prevent any accidents."
"I obey my orders."
After finishing the instructions, Zhang Hui felt relieved.
"Let's go, let's go to Prince Jin's Mansion and wait."
…
Outside Taiyuan City.
When the Northern Patrol was in the Chinese army's tent in the main camp, Zhu Yunxi had already rarely put on the bright yellow uniform that the old man had given him.
Outside the tent, some selected civil and military officials, led by cabinet minister Gao Yangzhi and Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, had assembled with a troop of troops from the Qianhu Division.
Inside the account.
Zhu Yunxi, who rarely wears this kind of attire, opened his arms and let Tian Mai tie up the jade belt for him.
"We need to send someone to keep an eye on the other end of the secret passage. Make sure nothing happens before tonight."
Tian Mai nodded: "I have already arranged the manpower. We just need to wait for the signal from the Jin Palace tonight, and the army in the camp can rush into Taiyuan City."
"Where are the three guards of Third Uncle Jin Prince's Mansion now?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at himself in the bronze mirror with deep eyes and asked in a low voice.
Without thinking, Tian Mai said: "The news was sent this morning that the three guards of the Jin Palace have arrived near Qizi Mountain, which is only forty or fifty miles away from Taiyuan City."
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, nodded and said: "So we can get outside the city tonight."
Tian Mai hummed and repeated worriedly: "When the signal is sent out in the city tonight, the Zhenyuan Gate side will come up with the pre-prepared written order and take over the Zhenyuan Gate.
No matter what happens in the city tonight, Your Highness can no longer go into battle in person, and I will protect His Highness to the death."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dark.
But he nodded simply.
"Don't worry! I will never put myself in danger!"
