Chapter 35 Li Yifu sells the official Vendor
In the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the fourth day of the 11th month of winter, it was seven o'clock in the morning.
Xu Yanbogong sent him, Wu Kang left Xu Mansion, left Sigong Fang, and returned to Daozheng Fang. After drinking a lot of wine, he was too heavy and was depressed. Xu Jingzong promised to send him to Daoguang Fang for a total of 100 taels of gold before the curfew began.
The mansion in Xincheng is there, just south of Daozhengfang, and the two sides are across the street. Li Jiu took care of the princess Xincheng with meticulous care. Whether she visited Luoyang or visited Xuzhou, she always brought her by her side. After returning from this expedition, she had never seen Shuyu, and she missed her a little.
Old Xu was very rich, but he paid the loan indefinitely without any interest. Wu Kang was so grateful that he was also helpless. He probably wouldn't pay the debt within ten years. He had to pay his salary every year, and there was no extra income. He could only tighten his belt and snatch it from his pocket money.
The advice failed, and Lao Xu refused to take over the rebellious son. Xu Ang, the prince's servant, was exiled to Hainan Island, and could not be changed. The so-called prince's servant was in charge of the guards of the Eastern Palace and also served as the prince's secretary. Li Jiu would not allow it, was unfilial to officials, and became the prince's official.
The story told by Lao Xu is speechless and cannot be refuted at all. Just like Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, he asked the emperor to save money, but he was extravagant and wanted to be a waste of money. The toilet was made of pure gold. Idealism gave to others and realisticism gave to themselves, and the typical double standards, and there were countless people of this type.
When the wine was so good, the two of them were heartbroken that they could talk about everything. Xu Jingzong was drunk and held Wu Kang's hands, and asked with a decisive question: "To be honest, will the exiled son Xu Ang look down on me?" He scolded me for being a stern person, said I was a traitorous minister."
We are all treacherous officials and slanderers. So I opened my heart and please rest assured, I didn’t disgust at all. Although Lao Xu was drunk, he could feel the truth and falsehood. He was very excited and drunk.
Lao Xu longed for a soulmate and hoped to be understood. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Jiangdu was in chaos. In order to save his life, he begged for mercy like a garlic. He became a laughing stock in his colleagues and was ridiculed by endless ridicule, which made him unable to raise his head. However, Wu Kang understood that life is his own, so what is moral integrity? If you have no personal experience, please shut up your mouth and are not qualified to comment.
In order to make a high bride price, my daughter married the barbarians, which was common in later generations. In order to make money, she tampered with historical books, which was understandable. Any dynasty or regime would tamper with history, indicating that she had long been numb.
Xu Ang was exiled, and he did not despise him. He was not surprised by the indifference of family affection. Before traveling through the Tang Dynasty, his hometown was implemented and his neighbor Chen's neighbor was staged, and his legendary farce was staged. Because of the huge amount of money for demolition, the father and son turned against each other, and Chen's father reported his son and staged a death row for justice.
Eighteen-year-old Xiao Chen has a weak legal concept and is less than fourteen years old. Wu Kang had a good relationship with him, so he went to persuade him. This was a crime and the consequences were very serious. However, his father eavesdropped on the phone and called the police directly, and Xiao Chen was sent to jail.
The disputes of interests, the temptation of money, and the bad human nature have long been influenced by the eyes. Thinking of this, I laughed and shitty, which really affected my mood. I felt that danger was coming, and Wu Kang looked up instantly, speechless for a moment.
It was still the woman who held the dagger in her hand and continued to stab her clumsyly. With the moment of turning her mind, she thought of six ways to resolve the crisis. She shook her head helplessly, and was even more lazy to avoid it. She entered the blade with her bare hands and snatched the sharp dagger.
Pinglang approached lightning, blinked her and controlled her body against the wall, and put her throat on the knife holder. Qian Shun took the dagger and mocked her sarcasm: "The general charges and the wife is embroidered in her flirting skills. Don't waste your time, go home to practice martial arts."
After ridicule, he saw the boss leave, and quickly followed. Pinglang put away his sword, too lazy to talk nonsense, and leaving was very casual. The assassin's face turned pale, and suddenly raised his head and cursed at his back: "You will be retribution for the traitor Wu Kang."
This was very familiar, and Wu Kang stopped and tried to search his mind. The woman who was poisoned to death in Wuming Valley was also cursed like this. Seeing this, the assassin cursed even more fiercely: "The Chief of the Liangzhou Governor's Office is my father. If you don't kill me today, you will take your dog's life in the future."
Wu Kang turned around slowly and looked at his angry pretty face. He did look like Zhao Chiman. Old Zhao was implicated by Wuji and framed by Xu Jingzong. He exposed his body in the west city of Chang'an, and Wang Fangyi collected the body. But little lady, what should you find Xu Jingzong, what should you ask me for?
After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "You are just a woman. You shouldn't bear these blood-seasons. You should marry a man and have two sons. Instill the idea of revenge, then visit famous teachers and practice various martial arts. When I am old and weak, I will let them take revenge."
The naked mockery was too lazy to say more and turned around and left. Qian Shun was right. With her ability, killing me is as hard as heaven. Instead of wasting time, it is better to marry someone and have children and contribute to the country. When he returned to his doorstep, he ordered Lin Pinglang: "The family of rebellion is very miserable, so you can deal with it."
Pinglang nodded and left, Qian Shun whispered: "Don't underestimate women. If you have strong desire for revenge, you will continue to assassinate today. If you have any concerns, please go and deal with it to ensure that the gods and ghosts are not aware of it. As the saying goes, you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you cannot be a thief for a thousand days."
Wu Kang shook his head decisively. It would be a pity to kill such a cute woman. Life is boring and she needs to add interest. Besides, I can't help but blame Zhao Chiman's death. She has no threat, so why should she kill them all?
Qian Shun shut up, glanced around, and whispered: "Deploy thirty brothers, patrol the mansion day and night, and when going on a special battle, he should send more personnel to protect his wife's safety. His subordinates also suggest looking for female guards and protecting her wife's personal care."
The hero had the same opinion, and his wife and daughter could not protect themselves and needed guards to protect him. He patted his shoulder lightly and told him lightly: "I don't have to worry about doing things, let it go. Don't let the news leak, don't let the queen know, she will be murderous."
After saying that, I stepped into the threshold, walked around the front yard living room, and came to the living and back yard, and was stunned for a moment. There were tables in the yard, and countless silver blocks were placed on them, neatly tidied. I walked over to check out the silver tines in the shape of the ship, each of which was fifty taels, with their backs resembled boats and lying on the table.
Not sure why Nao Nao ran over, threw herself into her arms, hugged her neck and acted coquettishly: "Uncle Su sent it to Grandpa Su, Grandpa Su's instructions, the empress asked him the reason, but he kept silent. Why did Grandpa give silver? Grandpa whispered, not letting her hear it."
Grandpa is Su Dingfang, and uncle is Su Qingjie. The teacher is very nice, but he didn't lend him money, so he took the initiative to deliver it to the door. But teacher, you are always unreasonable, and you are giving the money to your house, just cheating me. The wife came here happily and asked her: "Why did you give me silver? If you have any trouble, please tell me honestly."
The atmosphere was very awkward. I hugged my eldest daughter tightly and smiled and pleased her: "My daughter is here, so let me give you some face. Let's talk about it tonight. I said you don't stare at me. You can say it now, but if you have the conditions, you are not allowed to lose your temper."
Xiaoqing refused to comment and hooked her fingers at the door. Qian Shun was so happy that she smiled. She looked up and down and said sarcastically: "Butler Qian Shun, I'll send someone to move silver tins and lock it in the warehouse. Without my instructions, no one is allowed to use it. Do you understand?"
Qian Shun lowered his eyebrows and patted his chest to ensure that he would definitely complete the task. Xiao Qing rushed to the bedroom, like a proud peacock. The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled bitterly, making a fussy and quirky in her ears: "You know, my father is asking for good luck, but my daughter can't help."
Be honest and lenient, resist and strict, I know that I don’t want you to teach you. I have no desire for a while, so I let go of my daughter in my arms and grin and complain. My daughter is gloating, so my father bit the bullet and walked towards the bedroom, praying to pass the test smoothly.
In Qinghuafang, Daoguang Street, Pinglang stood at the corner of the Fangmen, looking at the figure of the Fangmen, and felt a splitting headache. What the boss was thinking about was assassinated twice, but he didn't catch him and reported to the official, and asked me to give him money. He was interested in her and wanted to keep the outdoor room, which obviously made no sense.
Just as he was frowning, there was movement behind his back, Huang Long turned around and his dagger was spreading across his chest. Zhao Sheng took three steps in a row, waved his hand and shouted: "Lao Lin, don't be impulsive, don't recognize me? If you move a knife, put it away quickly and don't alarm Wu Hou."
Pinglang rolled his eyes, put away the steel dagger, and was too lazy to pay attention to him. At the door of Zhao Shengwangfang, he joked with a humble voice: "My wife is so pitiful, she holds her knees with her hands, looks weak, I still feel pity for me. But I advise you that it is best to raise the outside, as Wu Santa Chow is not easy to mess with."
What kind of chaos is caused by blindly causing trouble? Pinglang became even more irritable. He stared at him and suddenly had a trick. He pulled him behind the wall and briefly told the story. He said seriously: "She is a fool. We heroes save the beauty and help the boss solve the problem."
Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "You are a bandit, I am a hero, and I am a whole set of plays. I was hurt and deceived her to go to my house. After taking care of her in front of the bed, I would definitely be secretly convinced. I put her on the bed, and the fat boy. The child's father is the dead soldier of his enemy. What kind of expression will she have?"
Pinglang was dumbfounded. This bastard was nothing. The two of them had been plotting for a long time. Zhao Sheng was guarding the corner of the street. Pinglang walked towards the gate. He deliberately made noise and waited for the assassin to look up and showed out the steel dagger. He threatened fiercely: "The general lets you go, but I won't let you go. The bitch dies."
The assassin screamed in a daze, got up in a mess, shouted for help, and fled towards the corner of the street. Pinglang chased him reluctantly, feeling helpless, and he was indeed a fool. You don’t think about it, if I am in a murderous mind, can you escape?
Escape to the corner of the street, the hero made a brilliant appearance. After speaking the lines, he fought to the death with bare hands. The assassin did not escape, his delicate body trembled, and he looked at Zhao Sheng nervously. Pinglang suppressed his smile, grasped the precise force, and cut Zhao Sheng's wrist.
Zhao Sheng raised his feet, kicked Pinglang down, pulled the foolish lady, and ran away in panic. When they disappeared, Pinglang got up and laughed strangely. Suddenly, he heard the scolding behind him, and it turned out to be Wu Houwei, and he was frowning. Today was too unlucky, so he raised his hands obediently and begged the boss to help him.
However, his boss was unable to protect himself at this moment and was trembling. Xiaoqing looked dark and stared at him and complained: "It's too much for Xincheng. Who are you? Why should you ask for your dowry? You are also too much for such a big thing, I'm actually hiding it from me."
Wu Kang scratched his head and said softly: "Don't be angry, you know, she is just that temper. Return the thousand taels of silver to the teacher, I have borrowed it. I guess Mr. Xu has sent a hundred taels of gold to Shuyu."
Xiaoqing's pretty face was frosted, and she scolded her: "We are a husband and wife, why do we choose to hide it? I am a stingy person? Write two letters to Mr. Xu and explain the whole story. Then let Qian Shun point out two thousand taels and send them to them separately."
Such a reasonable and reasonable woman, she can be called a good wife in China. Wu Kang gave a thumbs up and gave a thumbs up and rolled her eyes. He was about to flatter her, but Qian Shun hurriedly reported: "Brothers Li Qia and Li Yang, holding Mr. Li's greetings, are waiting in the living room."
When the night owl enters the house, good things will not come, Wu Kang sneered. Li Yi's mansion wants to be a demon and send two kids to the door, so he must have some intentions. He casts his eyes with questions, and Qian Shun immediately reports: "In early September last year, Li Qiao served as the Eastern Palace and the chief of the Right Neiru Mansion. He is smart and very popular with Xianggong Li."
The so-called right inner rate belongs to the tenth order of the Eastern Palace, referring to the sixteen guards. Among them, the left and right guards are the left and right Huaiyu, the left and right Qingdao, and the far-reaching soldiers are led by the left and right gate guards, guarding the East Palace gates; the left and right internal rate is similar to the left and right Qianniu Mansion, the prince's bodyguard group.
The work nature is the same, but the two have no friendship. Wu Kang pondered for a moment and ordered Qian Shun to say, "You are responsible for the reception. First give tea, and after half a minute, take it to the study to see me. Send Qian Liang to investigate whether Li Yifu is at home."
Qian Shunnuo left, Xiaoqing's eyes turned and said seriously: "There are rumors that Li Yi's husband and wife, his sons-in-law, are selling official positions and titles. Brother Li Yang visited him, maybe for this, I will follow him."
Wu Kang accepted happily. The couple came to the study room, and his wife hid behind the screen. Half a minute passed, Qian Shun reported in foreign exchange and brought the Li brothers into the door. The two brothers saluted respectfully, exchanged a few words to each other, and signaled Qian Shun to serve tea. Both sides took the guests and hosts to sit down. Li Yang received the tea cup and said straight to the point: "It's so that the general knows that his father wanted to come in person, but was summoned by the saint. We sent our brothers to visit the general on behalf of the general. The general is straight-minded, so we don't beat around the bush. Yantuodi is really the youngest son. Please help if you have any questions."
Seeing Wu Kang's doubt, Li Qia added: "Yantuatizhen, a member of the Tiel tribe, and General Zuo Wuhou. In late April this year, he and Shubin, the governor of Dingxiang, and Li Hezhu, the governor of Yanzhou, jointly attacked the Khitan. Captured the Khitan chief Abugu, and offered the captive of the eastern capital Luoyang."
Wu Kang's thoughts were heard and quickly retrieved information: the Yantuo tribe was under Tiele, and he had a good relationship with the Tiele Xue tribe, which was collectively called Xue Yantuo. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he took Yantuo as his surname. He had heard of Tizhen, Zuowu General, and a fierce grassland man.
After thinking for a while, he laughed and said, "Ti Zhen wins and triumphs, and is also a dignified general. Even if his young son commits a crime, he can handle it. We are a divine friend. We have met several times and cannot talk about friendship. What can I do?"
Li Qia replied respectfully: "I'm afraid that my uncle can only help this matter. The court has granted his wife and sons, and often the eldest son. Tizhen has many descendants and the youngest son who loves the most, and he is not well-dressed. Tizhen asks his father to seek a position for his youngest son in Zuo Qianniu Mansion."
As expected, Li Yifu sold official positions and titles, and actually pulled Naiweng into the water. Li Yang observed his words and put down the teacup and said, "I just heard Yan Bo say that the general was worried about the money. My father asked me to bring a message. I will settle this matter before the curfew today."
Damn Xu Yanbo, you don’t keep your mouth shut. How dare you gossip about your embarrassment? You already know that the Tidi really wants to buy a backup, so Li Yifu came to me. He spoke up with Qianguan, and he was indeed rich and powerful. He dared to interfere in Qianniu Mansion, and he was really bold.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Yan said, "Li Yang is Qianniu's preparation, Li Qia is the chief official of the inner commander, you understand the rules. The selection of Qianniu Guards is all chosen by the saints. I, the general, can only provide a list. It is useless to find me for both of you."
Li Yang replied: "You have just been appointed as a general, but you may not be very clear about the ranking of the list. There are many things to do. You only put the straight servants in the forefront, which is to focus on recommendations. If your father, the Minister of Personnel, also recommends the straight servants, then you will definitely not be separated from them."
Damn Li Yi Mansion, dares to interfere in Qianniu Mansion, is such a big courage. He slimly sips fragrant tea and looks kind and says: "The responsibility is higher than that of Mount Tai when the Qianniu Mansion is left and right, and the responsibility is higher than that of Mount Tai. If the straight servant has the ability and meets the top standards, he will definitely be among the best."
This is a polite refusal. The Li brothers were silent and their smiles were a little stiff. Zhifu is a coward. If he had real talent and knowledge, he would not ask you. Two minutes later, Li Yang smiled and said, "The general also understood that there are so many people who have real skills, no more than 20% of them. If you are worried about Zhifu getting into trouble, you can arrange fewer tasks."
Wu Kang smiled slightly, I am a general, you don’t deserve to be pointing fingers at how to arrange your work. Put down the teacup and put on the lid to show you the guests. The two brothers smiled stiffly, and they made sure their eyes were made to get up and say goodbye.
The young wife coughed lightly behind the screen, and the young wife gave instructions, Wu Kang brought the tea cup again and drank tea with a hypocritical cry. He cried again, and the unlucky girl was wandering in muddy water. She sighed helplessly and looked kind and said: "I must give you the face to Mr. Li. Please help me pass the message, and I will cover my servant's affairs."
The plot reversed a lot, and the two of them smiled. They saluted respectfully, and Li Yang replied: "General, please rest assured. Before the curfew today, my mother visited the princess. The general was busy with official duties and it was inconvenient for me to bother me, so I will say goodbye and leave now."
Pretending to keep the two bastards, these two bastards went away happily. Xiaoqing walked out of the screen, sat on Wu Kang's legs, hugged her neck and acted coquettishly: "My husband is right, Li Yi's Holy Family, Zhenglong, sister's right-hand man, let's not get into evil."
Wu Kang was very disdainful and said sarcastically: "He is greedy and is committing death at this moment. What can I do if I get into evil? But then again, it is hard to argue with Mei Niang's face. Just participating in selling official positions is equivalent to giving away a handle. Li Jiu has taken care of me and there are many excuses."
Xiaoqing shook her head, "Li Jiu makes things difficult for you, there is no need for an excuse. The old general Cheng Yaojin listens to Wang Wendu's nonsense just to defame himself. The more the husband's handles, the more dirty the body is, the more relieved Li Jiu is. Our family is a relative, and if he is honest and honest, he will be more cautious."
It seemed to be a little reasonable, Wu Kang accepted it happily, holding his pretty face to take advantage of it. After the verbal battle, he frowned and said, "Every successful man has a smart woman behind him, and his wife is a good wife. Go and notify Qian Shun, ask Lao Li for money, and repay it directly to Lao Xu. As for Lao Su, when I leave, you will return it quietly."
Xiaoqing's eyes were blurred and she said in a coquettish voice: "Don't go find him, let him give him to Xincheng, our family will not interfere. Your old lover, ask for a thousand guan, and I will give her two thousand. I am so generous, how can I compensate you, my husband?"
With a charming look, Wu Kang laughed in a slight smile: "My desk is very big, and as long as I clean it up, I can open up a battlefield. But, my wife, giving Shuyu more dowry may not be a good thing. I know her very well, and she will be arrogant. If we spoil this way, she will be unscrupulous."
Xiaoqing sneered: "Don't pretend, I know you better, I want to give you more. As long as she is happy and can untie the knot, money is not a problem. Go back to the point, clean up the desk immediately, change to a strange environment, and maybe you will be pregnant."
It is better to obey your orders than respect. The battlefield was quickly opened and the situation of the battle began immediately. I don’t know how long it took, but the door was knocked. Qian Shun was frightened: “General Zhang, the Marquis of Right Wu, sent his subordinates to the door, and Pinglang caused trouble. He said he was committing a crime with a knife and was locked in the garrison. He asked you to pick up people.”
Wu Kang wiped his sweat and said coldly: "Pinglang has always been steady and will not be so rash. There must be hidden information. I don't have time now. You can use the Qianniu Mansion waist card to figure out the matter. If it is trivial, bring up someone. If the matter is serious, let me know..."
