Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 11 Lantern Festival ([-])

"Bohu, there are people at this back door who think it's not easy for us to get in." Zhu Zhishan said cautiously while hiding behind the bushes.

"The people who enter this back door are servants." Wen Zhengming understood Tang Bohu's meaning, "Brother Tang, you?"

Seeing three servants coming from a distance with lanterns, Tang Bohu said with a smile: "These three are tall, short, fat and thin, just right."

"Go!"

Several exclamations and shouts of anger came from the woods.

"What do you want?"

"who?"

"Gentlemen, don't take off my clothes."

……

After a stick of incense, the three of Tang Bohu put on the clothes of handymen, walked in through the back door of the building grandly, found an empty warehouse, and put on their clean silk shirts again easily. Mixed into this bustling Taihu Tower.

"Wait! That letter is gone." Tang Bohu said nervously while touching his arms, "You go in first, and I will look for that letter."

Walking back alone, I was too anxious to change clothes just now, and the letter might have been missed.

"Is Tang Dacai looking for this?"

Looking back, Tang Bohu saw Zhong Ling'er whom he had met before, holding his own letter in his hand.

"Why is my letter in your hand?" Tang Bohu looked at her carefully.

"After I found you in Taihu Lake, I made people follow you all the time." Zhong Ling'er looked at Tang Bohu curiously, and then said: "You appear here today, do you want to be the son-in-law of King Ning?"

"Prince Ning?" Tang Bohu looked at him cautiously and said, "What do you mean?"

"Hehehe." Zhong Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Tang Yin, you don't even know how deep the Taihu Lake is, so you dare to come to this muddy water?"

"May Miss Zhong tell you?" Tang Bohu cupped his hands and said.

"This is not a place to talk, come with me." Zhong Ling'er brought Tang Bohu to a private room and whispered to Tang Bohu: "The grand prize of this Taihu Lantern Festival is actually King Ning's recruitment of a son-in-law."

"It's not that simple." Tang Bohu thought about it and said, "First Jinyiwei and Dongchang went to Jiangnan, and then there was an undercurrent of officialdom in Jiangnan, and this year there is a big lantern festival in Washington, and King Ning just happens to want to recruit a son-in-law."

"I did not misunderstand the person, Tang Bohu, you are very smart." Zhong Ling'er looked at Tang Bohu with great interest and said in a low voice: "Fahrenheit is one of the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had to cooperate under the pressure of King Ning, so we just This year's Lantern Festival is arranged! It is said that King Ning wants to recruit a son-in-law, but it is actually that King Ning intends to win over the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River. The so-called brocade clothes going to the south of the Yangtze River is just the current emperor's move to monitor King Ning under the guise of repairing the West Lake."

Tang Bohu looked at her looming and provocative figure in the clothes, and said with a wry smile, "Do I know too much?"

Smiling and returning the letter to Tang Bohu, Zhong Linger said again: "This Zhang Lin asked you to disrupt the situation. Do you really think that old fox thinks highly of you? This letter is signed by Zhang Lin, the prefect of Suzhou, from Jiangnan. The officialdom and the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River have always been in the same breath. No matter what the content of this letter is, as long as Ning Wang, Jin Yiwei, or Dongchang, anyone from either party knows the existence of this letter, and I am afraid that everyone in Washington will be killed. I can't keep it."

"Why?" Tang Bohu was surprised. He knew that the content of the letter was blank, and it was just a signature. Was it so dangerous?

"Little man, I told you that the water in the south of the Yangtze River is deeper than you think, and the relationship and benefits in it are beyond your imagination!" Zhong Ling'er bowed her body and said to Tang Bohu: "If you have a The ability to disrupt King Ning's situation and survive, I will tell you the most secret things in Jiangnan, including the secrets in this letter."

"King Ning wants to win over the nobles in Jiangnan, but the officials in Jiangnan don't want King Ning to intervene in Jiangnan's affairs, so they arranged me as cannon fodder to mess with King Ning's situation. As long as I hand this letter to the people in Washington, I have to participate in this game? Right!"

"Hahaha" Zhong Ling'er smiled coquettishly, and replied: "That's right! King Ning is very ambitious, and Jiangnan can't feud with King Ning openly, so you need someone with a clean foundation to muddy the water. You Tang Bohu is smart and With a whole body of talent, you are the best choice."

"I have another question!" Tang Bo asked again: "Who are you from? Jinyiwei? Dongchang? Jiangnan gentry?"

"When you reach a high enough position, you will know." Zhong Ling said gracefully.

"Power is really not a fun game." Tang Bohu left the private room melancholy, and came all the way to Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming with the letter in his arms.

With the sound of a few gongs, the building fell into silence.

Now the head of the Washington government, Bachelor Hua Chahua, walked in front of everyone and said: "Today, everyone can come to the shore of Taihu Lake. I am very pleased! I, a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, have always been good at poetry. This year, the daughter of King Ning is [-]. Fanghua, I want to choose a good son-in-law among all of you."

After saying this, all the students present had a big fuss.

"King Ning!"

"That's King Ning!"

Grand Master Hua: "Today we will meet friends through literature, and we will win a literary prize here..."

"How can this guy be so chatty!" Xu Pengju sat down at the table with Tang Bohu and the others, and said, "I almost have a physical reaction to what I heard."

"Fatty!" Tang Bohu pulled Xu Pengju over and said, "Your invitation is from Washington, or from King Ning."

Xu Pengju twitched, "Of course it was sent by Huafu. If it was sent by King Ning, would I dare to come? My family is the Duke and if he has friends with these royal nobles, can the emperor spare us nobles?"

"Besides, I just found out that King Ning came to pick a son-in-law under the guise of a lantern festival." Xu Pengju thought of something while talking, "Tang Yin, did you take my purse last time?"

"Heh!" Tang Bohu said with a sneer, "That night you were going to donate all your money to Tang's Tavern, and we couldn't stop you."

"Really?" Xu Pengju stared at Tang Bohu, "Why don't I remember at all."

"You drank too much, do you still remember that night you yelled to sleep with Widow Li in Yangtou Village, and said that the widow who would not sleep in this life is a man, do you still remember?" Tang Bohu said calmly .

Xu Pengju shook his head vigorously: "Did I say that?"

"En!" Wen Zhengming and Zhu Zhishan nodded together.

"The past is too bad to look back on and forget it." Tang Bohu comforted Xu Pengju, looking at the blue-faced Xu Pengju.

Chen Guang, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, sat on a corner of the balcony and asked Jinyiwei beside him, "Is King Ning in Taihu Lake?"

"We are still searching and have not received reliable news yet."

Chen Guang listened to his subordinate's report, and his eyes drifted to Dongchang Yu Qingshan who was sitting opposite him, with a chill in his eyes. He couldn't figure out why Dongchang's flag didn't move!Bad thoughts pop up unconsciously.
