Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

Chapter 59 Things in the capital are expensive...

Things in the capital are extremely expensive, and a small bag of pastries cost nearly a tael of silver.After a lot of turning around, his small coffers were saved, one hundred copper coins.

From the day when Ji Cheng wanted to take the imperial examination, Ji Cheng didn't let him cook much. This time when he was free, he started to go to the kitchen again.

The lacquered dowry was filled with all kinds of accessories that Ji Cheng sold him. Lin You stuck his favorite jade hairpin on top of his head. Ji Cheng liked to see him wear this most, and would praise him every time for his good looks.

He took out the iron hairpin wrapped in red cloth at the bottom of the dowry, and looked at it carefully. It was the last thing his father left him. Back then, Ji Cheng called the green luan on it the bird head.

After a while, he and Brother Cheng actually became husband and wife. After hesitating for a moment, Lin You replaced the sapphire hairpin on his head with this iron hairpin.

"Miss our father?" Ji Cheng looked at the top of his head and asked.

Miss him?Parents have no impression of Lin You at all, and all their knowledge of that man comes from grandma.Lin You smiled sadly and said, "It seems a little bit."

The shop is not peaceful recently, Ji Cheng said: "I'll go out for a while, you stay at home and stay with Xu Lian well."

"Well, I see."

The crown prince died for no reason in the clan mansion. After so long investigation in the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a lot of court ladies and eunuchs died, but nothing was found out.

Right now, King Yu is in the limelight, even if he really did nothing, he cannot escape suspicion.

The old emperor took the prince's only three-year-old son back to the palace and wrapped it around his knees all day long. Now that the East Palace is suspended, no one can tell what the old emperor is thinking.

They all want to turn the clouds to see the sun, but they don't want to be the first bird. King Qi is now more low-key in the court.

The current situation can only be cautious, Su Ming and Ji Cheng decided to temporarily close both shops after discussing.

Ji Cheng also felt that if he was in danger now, the shallow friendship between him and Marshal Guo, the king of Qi, would not be able to protect the whole family.After thinking about it, he decided to discuss it with Brother Dashan, and after Xu Lian gave birth to the child, they would leave the place of right and wrong.

He entered the house with his front foot, and before he had time to say hello, Xu Dashan was carried in the door with his back foot.

Xu Dashan lay unconscious on the board. There was no obvious wound on his body, but the back of his head seemed to be injured by a blunt object.

Ji Cheng hurriedly pulled the waiter to prevent them from entering the hospital, he took off the jade pendant on his body and said: "Ji Da, go and call the best doctor in Xingrentang to tell him, Ji Er, go in and hand over Young Master Yang, don't disturb those two Personally do not know.

When Yang Huai entered the concierge and was about to complain, she froze there. Someone who went out in the morning was fine, why did something happen after a while.

Ji Cheng didn't give him the slightest distraction: "Yang Huai, you go to Su Ming's place and tell him that a move has been made there, let him make plans early, and tell him that the shop assistants have gone to Jingzhao Yamen to report Closed."

"Do you remember?"

"Remember." Yang Huai glanced at Xu Dashan worriedly.

Ji Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Brother Dashan will be fine, let's go."

The clerk in the shop was obviously very frightened, and his words were confused, and he understood the general ins and outs.

Originally, Xu Dashan was about to close the shop. At this time, two strong men came in. They entered the door without saying a word and began to smash it. Xu Dashan and his buddies naturally stopped him, but he didn't know where he came from. Without saying anything, he swung the stick in his hand on Xu Dashan's head.

The shopkeeper hired had already gone to the government to report the incident, but the official messenger hadn't arrived yet, so Xu Dashan told the clerk that he was going home with the last of his strength.

The two guys had lost their minds a long time ago, so they followed Xu Dashan's wishes and carried him back.

The doctor from Xinglintang came very quickly, and after an examination, he said solemnly: "The injury on the head is serious, and there may be bruises, I will give him an injection first, and if he can wake up within three days by God's favor, he will be fine. .”

The rest of the doctors didn't say that if he couldn't wake up, then this person might die.

Xu Dashan was lying on the rough bed of the servant, and Xu Lian and Lin You could be heard talking and laughing in the courtyard from time to time.At this moment, Ji Cheng really regretted why he came to the capital.

Xu Lian was about to give birth, and their good life had only started for a few days, and Xu Dashan's life was hanging by a thread.

Ji Cheng froze there in a daze, he didn't dare to go into the yard full of laughter, and he didn't dare to look in his eyes full of expectation.

The doctor in the concierge was giving emergency treatment, Lin You said: "Brother Lian, did Brother Da Shan give him a name?"

"Huzi, Brother Dashan said that if it's a boy, he should be called Little Huzi," Xu Lian looked at the door, and the man told him in the morning that he would come back early today.

"Brother or girl, Brother Dashan doesn't only like boys, does he?" Lin You said with a little worry.

"He said that the boy can just pick one, but the girl and brother haven't figured it out yet," Xu Dashan said, it would be best if a brother looks like him.

The doctor in the concierge was scrambling for his life with Yan Wang Ye, but the two who were chatting in the yard were surprised to stand up by the sudden intrusion of the official.

Lin You hurriedly comforted Xu Lian who also got up in a hurry, he greeted the officer and said, "Master, what's the matter here?"

"This is Ji Cheng's home." Although he is an official in the capital city, he is even more hooligan than the one in Yuzhou. "What about others, let him come out quickly."

Their family has always followed the rules, he really can't think of where Brother Cheng can break the law, Lin You said: "Brother Guancha, my husband hasn't returned home yet, how dare you ask me what you want to do with him?"

"If there's anything I need to tell you, if you say you're not here, you won't be here!" The officer immediately pushed Lin You away and walked directly to the inner hall.

Ji San knew that Mr. Xu was in the concierge's room for treatment. Seeing this situation, he quickly reported to Ji Cheng, "Master... a few officials came to the master's courtyard and said they wanted to arrest you."

As soon as the words fell, the hearts of several people in the room thumped at the same time, Ji Cheng bowed deeply to the doctor who was rescued and said: "There is an urgent matter at home, and the doctor must save my brother-in-law's life, Ji Dayi will go to Madam's place in a while Marry 100 taels to the doctor."

The doctor, who was concentrating on administering the needle, continued to move his hands as if he didn't hear it.After Ji Cheng finished speaking, he left the room.

The two maids in the yard hurriedly helped Lin You who was pushed to the ground. The vicious official guard saw them trembling with fear, and they hid behind Lin You and dared not speak.

Ji Cheng strode up to Lin You and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Take the post from home and go to the General's Mansion to find Marshal Guo, and ask the girl at home to keep an eye on Xu Lian. Don't let him go to the porter, do you know?"

He understands how to use posts to rescue soldiers, but why didn't Xu Lian go to the concierge, Lin You nodded before thinking about it: "Brother Cheng, you will be fine."

It won't be like last time, let him see a person covered in blood.

Last time he was powerless and powerless. Although he is still an ordinary person this time, he already has fame and fame, and it is impossible for him to be bullied like before.

"No," Ji Cheng said, "Trust me!"

Those officials were smashing and rummaging in the house, Ji Cheng stepped into the room and said, "Brothers, what do you want me for?"

"You are Ji Cheng, come with us," the guard looked him up and down with contemptuous eyes.

"Did I break any law, or did I get into any lawsuit?" Ji Cheng asked.

The officer said impatiently: "If you are told to leave, you will leave. You will know what is going on when you go to court. Hurry up, don't miss the time for promotion."

The Jingzhao yamen was much more grand than the Yuzhou yamen, and there were two people kneeling in the lobby of the yamen, Lin Erniang and Zhao Ergen, whom he knew very well.

These two lingering people like bedbugs still have the ability to chase him to the capital.I also know that there must be ghosts in it, King Qi knows the roots of the troubles, why do you two drag him into the fight?

For a small shrimp like him, there are still people who go out of their way to deal with it. This battle for imperial power is really frightening.

Jingzhao Mansion Governor Wu Zhiyuan slapped the gavel, "Who is under the hall?"

"Ji Cheng, a scholar from Yuzhou, pays homage to Mr. Fu Yin." Ji Cheng straightened his back and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Zhao Ergen of Yuzhou sues you for snatching his concubine, and Erniang Lin of Xiaoyan Village sues you for killing her husband Zhao Zhonghuai. Now all the people involved in the case are here, and they are promoted!"

After Lin You settled down with Xu Lian, she ran out of the yard with the family post and all the bank notes, and got into the carriage that had just been harnessed.

Yingdu is so big, Lin You had only wandered around the west city a few times before, when he arrived in the east city, he dragged a young man who was wandering on the road and didn't know whose family it was, and said, "Brother, I have something urgent, you If you lead me to the Guo family's General's Mansion, I will give you all the five taels of silver."

Five taels of silver is equivalent to half a year's monthly money, so how can the boy disagree.

Guo Xiaofeng took the post from the butler, raised his eyebrows and said, "How did the uncle's post get to me? Get ready to go out and have a look."

The Guo clan has two generals, Guo Lin lives in the Marquis of Wenyuan's mansion granted by his ancestors, while Guo Xiaofeng lives in the general's mansion.The servant only heard Lin You say that he was going to the Guo family's general, and subconsciously led him here.

Lin You was waiting anxiously at the side door of the General's Mansion, but the one who came out came out was the Marshal Guo whom he had never seen before.

Whose little brother is this? Guo Lin has been a bachelor for half his life and there is such a beautiful little brother looking for him. Guo Xiaofeng thought to himself, his unrefined commanding uncle really has a day when the iron tree will bloom?

"Who are you?" Guo Xiaofeng asked.

Lin You was sweating in anxiety, and he forgot etiquette in his anxiety, he said: "I want to find Marshal Guo, isn't this the General's Mansion?"

"This is the General's Mansion, but I am not Marshal Guo, I am his nephew Guo Xiaoshuai," Guo Xiaofeng said, "My uncle lives in the Marquis Mansion, this is my home, you have found the wrong place."

To Lin You, this news was no less than five thunderbolts. Brother Cheng didn't know what was going to happen if it was delayed for a second. Lin You burst into tears immediately, and he was about to bow his knees when he saw Guo Xiaofeng.

The brother in front of him seemed to be in a real emergency. What kind of debt did his uncle owe? He quickly stopped the person who was going to kneel down: "There is no need to perform such a big gift. Since you came to the door with my uncle's post and he is not here, if there is something urgent It's the same with me."

Seeing that this person wanted to help him, Lin You hurriedly said: "Thank you, General, we have to go to Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible, can we agree on the way?"

In the government office, Ji Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, seeing that Zhao Ergen was still using the same rhetoric, he stared at the tortoise's legs, and thought: "With those legs, he can still run thousands of miles to complain, how much I hate him ah."
