Chapter 206 Pearl Balls (2)
Since it is a birthday gift, it is natural to do what it likes.
Powder jewelry, fancy clothes and skirts, and other things that ordinary ladies like, Liang Hongjin doesn't like. Compared with this, this female general who likes to practice with others in the martial arts field likes all kinds of weapons the most.
As early as half a month ago, Wen Mingtang specifically asked Lin Fei, and found the craftsman who made the waist sword to make a dagger.
"Shua, Shua, Shua" a few times, playing with a few beautiful sword flowers, Liang Hongjin put away the short sword very satisfied, "I really like Xiao Mingtang's gift!" to all around.
On the surrounding walls, long swords, short swords, soft swords, hidden swords... all kinds of swords lined up, and Liang Hongjin's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"I've stayed in Chang'an City for so long, and it's the first time I know that there is such a place!" Liang Hongjin looked at it with eyes reluctant to move away from the wall, and asked Wen Mingtang, "How do you know that this private house is so deep? There is actually a sword shop hidden there?"
Wen Mingtang looked at Liang Hongjin and said, "It's also from our Lin Shaoqing. This sword shop has never been in business for strangers, but only for regular customers. It has been open for nearly a hundred years, and because it is hidden in a private house, outsiders are very afraid of it." Hard to know."
After hearing what Wen Mingtang said, Liang Hongjin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "From this point of view, what is said in the story book is indeed true! Those hidden shops that don't show their faces are the easiest to sell good products, but the hard-to-find !"
Liang Hongjin saw that beautiful swords were like beauties, and it was rare to see so many beautiful swords, so she was reluctant to leave after looking at them, so Wen Mingtang simply sat down in the hall and watched the swords with Liang Hongjin.
Because regular customer business is ordered in advance, sometimes the shop may not have a single customer in a day. The owner of the sword shop was also a careless person, served tea for the two of them, and then went to watch the master making swords.
Wen Mingtang held the teacup and sipped it slowly, and when the cup of tea was down, Liang Hongjin was almost done looking at it, she looked away reluctantly, and said, "Next time I have to save some money to buy a sword! Xiao Mingtang , I'll wait..."
Before the words were finished, someone walked in from outside!
Those are two burly men, both of them have beards on their faces. At first glance, because only the eyebrows and eyes are exposed, it is difficult to distinguish them from each other.
Wen Mingtang only glanced at the two burly men, then quickly lowered his head, turned to Liang Hongjin and said, "Let's go!"
Liang Hongjin let out a "huh" and walked out together with Wen Mingtang. Although she never looked at the two burly men, the moment she passed by Liang Hongjin, one of the burly men walked towards Wen Mingtang. looked over.
Wen Mingtang's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face. He just walked out the door with Liang Hongjin quickly, and then said to Liang Hongjin, "I promise to accompany you to Luoma City to see the horses of the Western Regions in another day." Besides, I have to go back to Dali Temple first!"
Liang Hongjin looked at the anxious look on Wen Mingtang's face, knowing that it was not the time, she didn't dare to ask more questions, but said, "I'll go back with you! The little lady has been lost a lot these days, I don't worry if you go back alone !"
Wen Mingtang did not refuse, glanced at the sword shop not far behind, and said to Liang Hongjin in a low voice: "Hurry up!"
…
…
Just after lunch time, a group of servants from Dali Temple hurried out of Dali Temple and went straight to the sword shop.
Wen Mingtang, who went back and forth, was in the hall telling everyone how he met those two people.
"The two of us were about to leave after watching the sword, and the two of them walked in. They both had beards around their faces. Of course, their eyebrows and eyes are still different, but with such a beard, they really look like one person." Wen Mingtang said, "One of the bearded people with eyebrows and eyes is very similar to the person in the portrait. I was afraid of being discovered, so I immediately lowered my head and didn't look at them..."
This must have attracted everyone's approval.
Seeing everyone's affirmation, Wen Mingtang frowned, and said: "Although I'm sure I haven't looked at him much, but I don't know why, when Liang Hongjin and I passed by the two of them, that person actually took a special look at him." I take a look!"
As soon as these words came out, the voices in the hall suddenly fell silent.
Take a special look at Master Wen? Was it discovered? Someone thought about it, and couldn't help asking Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, but you actually saw him, but forgot?"
Wen Mingtang shook his head: "I'm sure I haven't!"
How come...
"There is another possibility!" Lin Fei's voice came from outside, and he walked in and said, "He recognizes Master Wen!"
Aside from the people in Dali Temple, how many other cooks do you recognize?
"There are also diners like Yu Jijiu and the others!" Someone said but couldn't help frowning, "But I have daily contact and so on. I'm familiar with it, and it doesn't match up with the portrait!"
Wen Mingtang also said: "I don't think those eyebrows are familiar, they don't seem to be someone I recognize!"
"Either you recognize him, or he recognizes you." Lin Fei paused after saying this, "I either recognize you because you are Master Wen, or recognize you because you are from Dali Temple!"
The former, this bearded man will be found in Wen's past. But Wen Mingtang was still a child when he entered the palace, and came to Dali Temple without staying outside after leaving the palace.
Growing from a half-old child to the present age is the time of the greatest change in one's life, so it doesn't make sense to talk about the old Wen family.
In this way, there is only one possibility.
"Generally, those who do this kind of black work will definitely pay attention to the people in the yamen, from officials to servants, chefs, handymen, etc.!" Lin Fei said, "He has not come to the yamen himself and seen it with his own eyes, then He got the portrait of me."
If you have been here in person... the people of Dali Temple usually catch a lot of prisoners. The prisoners are cunning and use a lot of disguises. The people of Dali Temple who are used to dealing with these prisoners are better at recognizing people than ordinary people. Less.
But everyone has no impression of this person, and it is more likely to get their portraits than the person who came to the Yamen to see them in person.
"Let's wait for the situation on the guard's side first. It would be the best if we can catch him!" Lin Fei said, "If not, those two sensed something was wrong and ran away, so they started from the sword shop and asked about the sword. How did the shopkeeper and the two customers find them?"
That's all I can do, and now I'm waiting for news from the guards.
An officer thought for a while, and asked Wen Mingtang: "Miss General Liang is very skilled, why didn't Master Wen leave Mistress Liang there to watch?"
Wen Mingtang rubbed his nose, and said: "I just want to say this, I smell blood on them, although I brought a sachet to cover it up, but there is still, I am afraid that it is a desperado who just killed someone, so I dare not Let Hongjin take risks with the entire sword shop!"
Although I don't know the martial arts of these two people, if Liang Hongjin is sure to control those two, Liang Hongjin will not send her back at that time because of his temperament.
Being a hero is of course good, but if you are not strong enough to be a hero, if you implicate the innocent, you will not save people but harm them.
