Chapter 8 The Means of Lack of Virtue

"My sister, the magnates in the capital, are laughing at the Marquis of Lintong, and the younger brother also thinks that the Marquis of Lintong is a child. Is it necessary for us to entrap him like this? ”

Tian Wei was eating melons and fruits in the palace while talking to Wang Huan, who was reading.

"You have to take a long-term view, and I usually ask you to read and write more, but you don't want to. I can't see through such a little trick. ”

"Sister, do you mean ......?"

Tian Wei put down an apple in his hand and looked at Wang Wan in surprise.

"Tao Guang is obscure. This hand is really clever, and everyone thinks that he is a child. No one in the court will pay attention to him, and no one will take him down. Because no one would be so boring to capture a stupid child. At the same time, people will forget his exploits, and you think that a childish person can break through the 5,000 Wu army with 100 horses. Can a childish person defend the attack of more than 10,000 people for half a month in Huainan? Or do you think that the remnants of the Wu army of the water bandits in Jiangnan are all straw bales?

Are the tens of thousands of bloody human heads fake? Is this all something that a kid can do? I tell you that this is a very clever man. Such a person can only be a friend, if he is an enemy. Then we have to exhaust all kinds of methods to get rid of it.

However, it seems that this Yunhou has always been kind to Yan'er, and his relationship with our family has always been good. It's a pity that we don't have a female dependant of the right age in our family, otherwise marrying one is a good way to win people's hearts. ”

"My sister values Yunhou so much, so what do you say, my brother will do it immediately. No matter how we want him to be, it's good to be our talent. ”

"Don't worry, you spoke for him in the Xuan Room last time. It's already possible. At this time, it is not advisable to get too close. Let's wait and see what happens, anyway, after the first day, Yu'er will go to his family's Zhuangzi to study. When the time comes, you should send Yu'er there, remember that such a person cannot be enveloped by wealth, and he must be tied with affection. ”

"Sister, my brother is not a man."

Tian Wei had an embarrassed expression on his face.

", stupid like a pig, I'm talking about brotherhood."

"Oh"

After Liu Qi and the Queen Mother's cat were delivered, Chang'an was boiling. People are talking and laughing about this rat-grabbing Hou Ye after dinner, and even at the banquet, they openly talk about it. For a time, the Marquis of Lintong was in the limelight in Chang'an and became the object of ridicule in the entire Chang'an. There were also a few funny guys who actually sent Yun Xiao a few hibernating snakes. Choking Yun Xiao enough, put this thing in the rat hole. Whether to catch rats or improve the lives of rats.

"Wei Qihou. Let's not worry about that. Now he has become synonymous with mediocrity, and he just waits for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and the queen mother wants to kill or kill him. ”

"I don't think it's that simple, and the rumors should be a bit too much. We can't listen to all the rumors in the market, and we need to be vigilant about this sub-committee. ”

Wei Qihou was too worried. You are now the crown prince. Later, the crown prince ascended the throne. The candidate for prime minister must be Wei Qihou, undoubtedly. We still need to be afraid of him. Not to mention waiting until the crown prince ascends the throne. Just look at His Majesty's attitude towards him now, it is easy for us to grasp him now. Don't talk about this kid, I heard that Princess Guantao's house has a banquet tonight. Wei Qihou is willing to have fun. The princess's dancing girl is very famous. Hahaha"

Chang'an, Pingkangfang.

"It's strange that this kid is catching mice. When the king of Jiangdu was killed, and the emperor was angry with him, this kid actually went to catch mice. Ha, that's interesting. ”

"Pavilion Master, then let's ......"

"Let Mu Yao continue to investigate, and let everyone hide and hide. Don't let people notice, the court lieutenant is not given for nothing. I'm going to see you in a big deal. ”

"No"

Yunjia Zhuangzi.

"You are so delicate in chess, there are very few people in Chang'an City who can see it. The old fisherman and I are both very impressed. ”

Master Geng smiled with a smile on his beard.

"Juzi, Lao Geng and his husband have been friends for many years. There are some things that he can see more thoroughly and accurately than the old man, and if you can bring him back from Jiangnan, it will definitely be a powerful help. ”

The fisherman drank Yunxiao's flower tea, and he now also likes this light tea. Every time, I took a few bags from Yun Xiao, which caused the eunuch to grind her teeth every time she saw this old guy.

"Actually, I didn't really think about anything else, I just thought that rats could spread the disease. And it is a very severe plague, and you don't know that there has been a plague in the far west. The number of dead people is several times the total population of the Han Dynasty. That's a thousand miles without rooster crows, and there are bones everywhere. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing? I'm so lonely that I dare to ask who I listened to. ”

"Well, the tutor mentioned it to me back then. He traveled all over the world and went to places in the extreme west. Even the Tianchi of the Queen Mother of the West has been there, and there is no flower that is not thanked at four o'clock. There are no beautiful seven fairies, and there are no immortal trees.

Some of them are just snow all year round and endless cold, and even if you go there in the summer, you have to wear a fur coat. ”

"Oh, you've been to the Heavenly Pond of the Queen Mother of the West?"

The roof tiles suddenly crackled, and Xiaobai, who was sleeping on the ground, suddenly stood up straight. The wings of the nose were closed one by one, as if they had smelled something. Then he began to scratch the door, and Yun Xiao opened the door and swooped out.

"It seems that Dai Yu still has to be at home, and the family is really not peaceful without such a master." Yun Xiao looked at Xiao Bai in the distance and muttered.

The courtyard was full of peace, and the guards learned that someone was eavesdropping on the roof of the house without being noticed. felt a big loss of face, and chased after Xiaobai's figure.

In the moonlight, a galloping horse galloped down the road. The horse's hooves flew over, and it was obvious that it was a good horse. The coat is pitch black, with only a ring of white hair on the top of the four hooves. Anyone who knows the goods knows that the scientific name of such a horse is dark clouds and snow. It is a good horse in a thousand, and it is difficult to find a daughter in the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the horse galloped like an arrow off the string, and the horse's tail had been pulled into a straight line parallel to the body. But the knight on the horse didn't seem to be satisfied, and beat the horse under him desperately. Because in the dark field, a white figure was quickly chasing in the direction of the horse's gallop.

The speed of the leopard is not covered, and the distance between Xiaobai and the dark clouds and snow is getting closer and closer. The leopard is very fast, but lacks stamina. And endurance is the strength of the horse, seeing that the gradually approaching goal is coming again, Xiaobai can only stop helplessly. It's unwise to fight with a horse for endurance.

The knight on the horse secretly hated why he didn't bring a crossbow bolt today, otherwise he would have shot this leopard who had repeatedly ruined his own good deeds.

After the knight galloped past a stick of incense, there was another roar on the road. But what was waiting for the guards was just Xiaobai, who was lying on the side of the road, gasping for breath.

At dawn, the city gate of Chang'an had just opened, and a black horse galloped into the city gate of Chang'an. The sergeant guarding the gate found that the horse was wet, as if it had been running for a long time, and thought that it was a messenger from a powerful family who hurriedly flashed next to the city gate.

The bear has discovered a good way to exterminate rats, and today I want to show it to Yunxiao.

A fat mouse was held in the hand of the bear, and several soybeans were stuffed into the mouse's anus in turn. It was thrown in a bucket and soaked for a while, and then put it in a rat hole.

After a while, there was a fierce squeak from the rat hole. The sound was so loud that the clouds standing at the entrance of the cave could be heard, and a mouse swished out of the mouse hole, and it was not afraid that people would run away on their short legs.

The rat stuffed with soybeans then came out, and the soybeans that had been swollen by the blisters made the mouse's eyes red. Squeaked and chased after the rat in front of it and kept biting. The two rats asked each other for blood, and in the end, the sturdy rat relied on the advantages of his body. He bit the other rat under him and grabbed it by the throat in one gulp.

The little mouse struggled a few times and then stopped moving, and the big mouse was like crazy and saw what to bite. I had to bite twice on the steps I hit, and blood kept flowing out from behind me, and I died on the ground after a while.

"Master Hou, this soybean will swell when it encounters water. The rat was swollen so much that it caught something and bit something. Putting such a mouse in a rat hole can bite a litter of rats. In the end, the rat stuffed with soybeans will swell to death. Master Hou, you think my method is good. ”

The bear pulled the dead mouse with his foot, and when he saw that he couldn't move, he took his tail to Yun Xiao's front to show him.

Yun Xiao was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, what was there to see about a dead mouse with bared teeth.

"Take it away, take it away, you quickly wash your hands and put more soap horns. In the past few days, everyone has been watching him, letting him wash his hands when he is fine, and not allowing him to grab something to eat. ”

Yun Xiao pointed at the bear and said loudly. Although the bear's method is a bit disgusting, it is really effective for catching mice. After this crackdown, the number of rats in Yunjia Zhuangzi has dropped sharply. There were no rats anymore, and no dead rats were found in the hoards.

Yunjia Zhuangzi also raised a large number of cats, and the scene of cat's eyes flashing at night was extremely spectacular. It's just that after Xiaobai's dissatisfied roar, all the flickering eyes disappeared in an instant.

After finally controlling the infestation of rats, Yun Xiao knew that only a large enough number of cats could ensure that the rat population did not rebound. Don't dare to repeat the mistakes of the European Middle Ages, not to mention that the population of hundreds of millions of the entire Han Dynasty is only more than 20 million, if such a disaster comes, it will be the real extinction.

In Pingkangfang.

A man with a slender figure and a sallow face, like a piece of dead wood, knelt in front of Bai Weng. His demeanor was very respectful, and he lowered his head and told the news from the Yun family.

"You say he knows where the Heavenly Pond of the Queen Mother of the West is? And he has been? ”

"My subordinates heard him talk to a man named Yu Lao and a person named Lao Geng. Listening to his tone, he spoke very coherently, without the slightest pause. It doesn't seem to be a fake. (To be continued......)
