Arati was startled and looked up at Jiachu, who only had half of his face exposed. After looking at each other, he felt no hostility from the other party and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition, Su Rui was also nearby, so he pointed in the direction of Hanshan Temple.
"Young master and Master Hua have something to go to Hanshan Temple."
"Why are you going to Hanshan Temple so late?"
Su Rui knew about the close relationship between Taoist Zhizhen and Hua Yi, but he also knew Hua Yi's temperament, the kind of person who could stay still without moving.
Taking Ning Wuyan up the mountain together, could it be that the two of them discovered new medicinal herbs together?
Arati actually overheard a few words about the reason for going to Hanshan Temple.
But telling Su Rui truthfully would make people think that he, a flower farmer, had too long ears and would be easily suspected. He could only shake his head and replied: "I don't know, it's just that they seem to be in a hurry. It should be an important matter." .”
"them……"
"When will they come back?"
Jia Chu preempted Su Rui and asked the key question.
After staying in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a while, he did not rest, but was inquiring about news.
When he learned that the young Marquis was making enemies everywhere in Jinling City, and was suddenly so tight that he couldn't even pay for the room, he had an ominous premonition when he contacted the letter home from the young Marquis.
Su Rui glanced sideways at Jia Chu who was talking to him, and thought to himself: The people in Prince Jin's Mansion really don't understand the rules.
Seeing Arati asking him with his eyes whether he should answer, and after he nodded slightly, Arati said vaguely: "It should be that he went back to the mountain after eating. It seemed to mean that he would go into the mountain in the morning. Others I had no idea that it was getting dark and it was time for me to move the tobacco flowerpot into the greenhouse. My lords, take your leave."
When A first sees Arati, he seems to be hiding something, and reaches out to catch him.
Su Zhou had already taken the lead and stood between Alati and Jiachu.
Jia Chu's five claws gripped Su Zhou's shoulders like iron pliers. Su Zhou frowned slightly, but didn't say a word, just stared at Jia Chu with cold eyes.
Until Su Rui snorted softly: "If you are the guard of Prince Jin's Mansion and feel that you can find Marquis An faster than I can with you, then I will assign a few people to you and listen to your orders. Can you please do it by yourself?"
not good.
Jiachu retracted his arm reluctantly and looked around, looking for the location of Hanshan Temple.
"Over there, I will accompany you up the mountain. Otherwise, if Master Hua sees your attitude, he will not be willing to say a word to you."
In fact, seeing Jia Chu's rude attitude towards Alati reminded Su Rui of Zhou An's attitude towards Ning Wuyi.
He regretted meddling in such nosy matters.
But after all, he is the governor of Jiangnan Province, and Zhou An is an unusual person. He disappeared in the area under his jurisdiction. No matter the outcome is good or bad, he must have an explanation to His Majesty.
…
Hanshan Temple.
In the abbot's living room, Taoist Zhizhen was surprised and happy to face two uninvited guests.
"Ning Shixian, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your face is glowing. You can tell that you are going to have good luck at first glance. But are you here to fulfill your wish?"
How can anyone come at night to fulfill their wish?
Ning Wuyang secretly complained: I guess Abbot Zhizhen is close to Zhangjiazhuang. I heard that the Ice Factory recently sold 500,000 taels of ice in three days because of the large amount of saltpeter shipped. He wants me to donate more to the God of Wealth. Where's the money?
"Thanks to the abbot and the protection of this temple full of gods and Buddhas, my Ning family's business is indeed booming. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to the city to exchange for some fine gold, and I will also paint the missing corners with gold paint. "
If you trace all the missing corners and lack paint, it will cost you twenty pounds of gold.
Taoist Zhizhen quickly bowed his hands to Ning Wuhuang and smiled from ear to ear.
"Lao Ning's poem is dead."
It should.
Ning Wuyang winked at Hua Yi.
The gold has been given, and the matter of contribution can be mentioned at the opportunity.
He knew that Hua Yi and Taoist Zhizhen were friends, but their friendship could not be wasted. Besides, he had to eat, drink, and have sex with all the Taoist priests in the temple, so forget about the labor of Taoist Zhizhen, and the whole temple was prostituted for free. For the hard work, it is appropriate to add some sesame oil money.
Hua Yi really didn't intend to employ people in vain. He never liked the cause and effect, but he also planned to give each Taoist priest a divination.
But he didn't expect that Ning Wuxu would beat him to it without telling him, and the benefits he received were so substantial that he could not even find Taoist Zhizhen in the north.
"Brother Xu... no, he is a Taoist who knows the truth."
As soon as Hua Yi's name came out, Taoist Zhizhen became much more alert, and the smile on his face became much smaller.
I have almost forgotten that whether it is Hua Yi or Ning Wushang, the old and the young are by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.
There is definitely something wrong with giving him gold in a good manner and being courteous for nothing.
"Master Hua, if you have any questions, you can express your opinion directly. You and I, brothers, don't have to be secretive."
Faced with the joke from Taoist Zhizhen, Hua Yi laughed dryly.
"It's not a cover-up, I just want to ask you for help with something, but I don't know where to start... That's all, Ning Shixian, please tell me."
The ball hit Ning Wuyan's feet.
Without saying a word, he hit an upside-down golden hook and shot directly.
"Master Hua and I are looking for a special herb that can treat dysentery, called Artemisia annua. Master Hua has calculated its approximate location and is in urgent need of a large number of manpower to search for it. Since it is the harvest season recently, it is difficult to find people, so we thought of it. There are many little masters in the temple who can help.”
Ning Wuyang bowed to Taoist Zhizhen.
"I will provide three meals a day. If you can find this herb, it will be a great act of kindness for the abbot and Hanshan Temple."
The most important thing is to get a good reputation by giving gold in return of food.
No one has any reason to refuse.
In addition, because of Xu Jidao's evaluation of Ning Wuyan, Taoist Zhizhen gave him a high look and nodded in response: "Since it is a good deed, Taoist Taoist Zhizhen should help you two. If there is a miracle cure for dysentery, , I also want to see it with my own eyes."
"Yes, there is, but to find the herbal medicine and refine it into a special medicine, you need other methods."
Ning Wuyang found the right opportunity and sold it out.
When the Taoist Zhizhen heard this, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's the secret?"
"First of all..."
"Abbott, the governor is here."
Before Ning Wuyan could finish speaking, the young Taoist priest Shiliang hurried in.
Taoist Zhizhen and Hua Yi looked at each other in surprise when they heard the news.
"Brother Xu, why did Governor Su come up the mountain at this time? Did you invite him?"
"He is as busy as a loach in the pond every day, sliding here and there. He doesn't even have time to come when I ask him. Today is really a hell."
Taoist Zhizhen began to wonder about the reason for Suri's arrival.
Recently, he took advantage of the people in Zhangjiazhuang to open up wasteland. Thinking that there were more orphans in the temple and there was not enough food to eat, he quietly sent people to open up some wasteland before he could register with the government.
It's impossible for Su Rui, the dignified governor of Jiangnan Province, to come here to hold him accountable over those few ownerless barren hills, right?
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. The two distinguished guests will wait here while I go out to meet him!"
