Hidden in the court

Chapter 182 How does a fox call?

There was no other choice but to find a place outside the city to settle down. As for the money, Ji Mingshang had already paid for it and was going to ask His Majesty to reimburse him later.

What others don’t know is that the shabby thatched house they live in will soon be on your majesty’s desk at the highest price in Taiyuan City…

Fortunately, with the experience today, the next few times I entered the city were not as difficult as the first time. I even got to know the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

After several days of undercover investigations, several people are now certain that there are not many "outsiders" entering Taiyuan City in recent days.

No matter they are from the south or north, people who live by the wall, people who sell crutches, rich or poor. There are almost no real outsiders among these people. Most of them are from Bingzhou, but some of them may have stayed away for a long time. Why? There are several important pieces of evidence: some people will reveal their true colors. For example, people who are away from home can only speak Mandarin. But as long as you return to your hometown, even if you can't change it back for a while, or deliberately conceal it, you will speak with a little bit of your hometown dialect. Unfortunately, the characteristics of Bingzhou dialect are also very obvious.

Ji Mingshang felt that the most outrageous things these past two days were the "rich merchants in the capital" who could not distinguish the pronunciation of "h" and "f" and the "noblemen of Jin" who liked to use reduplications.

Well, in the areas where Mandarin is spoken the most, it's OK that "h" and "f" are not distinguished. The second type is even more extreme. You mean the native Northeastern dude who likes to use reduplicated words? It shows that this group of people has become so rampant that they are not even willing to pretend.

This also made several people more and more anxious. Ji Mingshang knew this group of people very well. They were so confident that they must have allies. And the allies must be big enough to support their rebellion.

It's no wonder that he stabbed Prince Jin in the back before. Even if he wasn't the one pushing this matter behind the scenes, he still had something to do with it.

Suddenly I miss the way I used to reveal my identity when I was in doubt, and use my power to overwhelm others, and then use my cavalry to push them over if they refused to obey.

But even though it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew that this was done specifically to test them. To be more specific, it was to see to what extent Ji Mingshang, Su Mengyang, and Hu Die could handle the matter.

All we can say is that many years ago, the Northern Territory and Liang Wu had a tacit understanding of "everyone takes care of their own business", and it was not without reason that they broke up the aristocratic families in the world.

However, isn't this risk too great? There are so many noble families in the world, and they were just dispersed, not all of their descendants died out. Once Taiyuan started an uprising, even if it was quickly suppressed, it would plant seeds in the hearts of the people. On the worst-case scenario, Taiyuan City held on with its high walls and deep moats, and it wouldn't take more than two or three months. By then, the scene would be quite exciting.

The noble families of the world all raised their heads, summoned their clansmen, and recovered their ancestral property. Then a fox jumped out from behind a dilapidated temple and cried out: "The Wang family of Taiyuan should be the model for the noble families of the world!"

If the North continues to say it will not get involved, then all the heroes will rise up and fight for the Central Plains, the mountains and seas will be shattered, and the King of Jin will be ecstatic?

Several people could think of this aspect, but the most important thing now was how to obtain evidence of the rebellion in Taiyuan. It would be best if the problem could be solved without bloodshed, as this would be a big problem.

Ji Mingshang looked around at the frowning people. He felt overwhelmed. He had to have some authority to handle things. What, Nangong Lin was also willing to do some incognito work?

Luo Lin also thought of this and immediately said, "Why don't we go back to the capital, or ask His Majesty to issue an order to grant a reasonable identity first? Such a small fight can't even get through the gate!"
