Chapter 243: Before the Snowy Night

After the first snowfall, the sky was covered with clouds again in the evening.

The black clouds overwhelmed the city, but it could not stop the people of Chang'an from enjoying the prosperity of this prosperous era, and with this last bit of time, the streets were still crowded.

In the East Market, a layer of snow white on the street has been dragged away one after another, and Xu Junyi, who was angry, fell into ecstasy in the face of this mountain of silver. Although he is the son of the prime minister, he does not have much money in the family every month, although there is always no shortage of high-rollers who take the initiative to spend, but if he wants to integrate into the aristocratic circle of the capital, he always eats and takes others, and the young and vigorous young man can't pull this face.

Now that I have a big windfall for nothing, I don't have to worry about being short of money when I see the right girl, and the Pomeranian laughs at this kind of thing, of course, it is better to spend your own money to have more face!

Don't worry about having no manpower, which of the noble sons who are traveling with you don't have three or two slaves to follow?

As soon as I walked around the shops, I borrowed a carriage in twos and threes, and pulled it away happily.

Don't worry about someone's red eyes, red eyes are inevitable, a whole few hours of busy, I don't know how many people are crowded in the East Market, what kind of people have, but when the noble sons recruit a group of evil servants, ordinary people will stand in the distance at most to see the excitement.

As for those with ulterior motives, after inquiring about the origin of these noble sons, they also lost their minds.

However, the wealth is moving after all, and no one dares to move the group in front of them, but the people who can easily scatter such money are not surprisingly targeted.

There are few people who can mix in Chang'an, and after looking around, Wang Ce's origin will be clear, including their "entanglements" with Prime Minister Xu Fan.

There are many smart people in this world, and even more think they are smart!

Seeing through the truth, they naturally regarded Wang Ce and them as the "gold masters" abandoned by Xu Fan.

Similar businessmen, in Chang'an City, I don't know how many, and the routines are very different, it is nothing more than the foreign businessmen who cling to the intention of the powerful to make a fortune somehow annoyed the magnates, and were finally abandoned by the magnates.

People with flexible eyes don't care why the family in the mansion has a bad relationship with Xu Fan, they have seen a lot of such things, Wang Ce, who has just come to Chang'an for less than a year, has done a lot of business in a short period of time, but it has declined in an instant like a meteor, this routine is really in line with what they have seen and heard in the past!

As for the rumored "disciple", these smart people are even more disdainful.

In order to cling to the powerful, these businessmen are even willing to be sons and grandsons!

Disciple?

It's so unprofessional! It's just an insult to those sons and grandchildren!

In short, on this snowy evening, the evil ignited by desire is constantly brewing.

Inside the gate of the mansion, all the guys have been assembled.

They are all old people who have been to Yangzhou with Wang Ce, and now this turmoil is not enough to make them panic, and even a little happy......

"Haha, that's great! Finally a chance to try these ballistas!"

A sturdy young man stroked the torsion spring ballista that had just been unloaded from the carriage like a baby, and laughed at Zhao Ming on the stone steps in front of the door like a drum: "Zhao Tou'er, you don't know! I used to watch those sailor brothers practice this thing, not to mention how greedy I was! I wish I could be selected as a sailor, but it's a pity that the four owners don't want me!"

Before Zhao Ming could answer, a young man next to the sturdy boy took a few steps forward, slapped the back of the sturdy young man's head, and scolded in a low voice: "You're going to die if you whisper, aren't you afraid that others won't hear it?"

These two teenagers have both experienced in Yangzhou City, and the sturdy teenager is named Cheng Wenjing, a name that does not match.

It's just that Wen Ermao, who was on the same street to ask for food, was praised by the big proprietor after discovering the wonderful use of the cabinet room in the land speculation, and after he came back, he gave himself a scholarly name, called Wen Shaoqun, what kind of gentleman is outstanding.

So, the boy who was originally called Cheng Datou went to the school and spent a lot of effort to consult the young gentlemen, wanting to give himself an elegant name.

It's just that, like the eldest brother, a young man who also doesn't have much talent for naming, after pretending to be for a while, Cheng Datou naturally became Cheng Wenjing.

And our classmate Cheng Wenjing is obviously very satisfied with this new name, and often takes pride in it and shows off in front of his friends, which also starts a storm of naming and changing names in Xu Chen's team......

The interesting story about the name is long gone, but Wen Shaoqun, who is in danger at the moment, is not as heartless as his companions.

After telling Cheng Wenjing to speak quietly, Wen Shaoqun asked Zhao Ming: "Zhao Tou'er, did the three owners say who will come tonight?"

Zhao Ming could only shake his head and said: "It's hard to say, anyone can come, people from the rivers and lakes, people from the government, and those who have been sinned by us will definitely come, it's just a matter of how much." ”

Wen Shaoqun was silent for a moment, and then asked with a slightly condensed expression: "Then can we stop it?"

Zhao Ming smiled, patted Wen Shaoqun's shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't you know who our owner is? There are so many wealthy families in the south who have been toyed with by us, and they haven't reacted until now, although the water in Chang'an is deeper, it is not so easy to drown us!"

"That's true, but ......"

"Don't, be cautious, but now is not the time to be presumptuous. Zhao Ming interrupted Wen Shaoqun's worries, patted the ballista in front of him and said: "Our weapons are the most sophisticated in the whole Tang Dynasty, and the military formation of the soldiers and brothers is the most advanced in the world, there is no reason why we can't deal with a few thieves!"

Wen Shaoqun nodded silently, looking at his companion who was fiddling with the ballista beside him, but there was sorrow in his heart.

After carrying it tonight, what about tomorrow?

If the most fundamental problem is not solved, as long as there is still Chang'an City, the enemy will be endless......

Among the teenagers, Wen Shaoqun is not the only one who has this kind of sorrow.

At this moment, in the main hall of the mansion, Zhang Li looked at Wang Ce who was seated worriedly, hesitated again and again, and still asked: "Third brother, today has passed and there will be tomorrow, there is no possibility of giving up the foundation here in Chang'an, but you can't watch the brothers suffer casualties!"

"The key is to solve the problem from the very root!"

Wang Ce's brows furrowed deeply, and he pondered for a long time before he reluctantly spoke: "I know that the bell must be tied to the bell, but I really can't think of the reason for the big change in the teacher's attitude!"

"Although the man sent by the teacher to Wuyi Mountain has lost contact, there is no need to put us under house arrest! If the teacher suspects that the person sent to Wuyi Mountain was killed by us, then he should also find me and question me personally. But why is it that we are being put under house arrest so quietly? Supposedly, the eldest brother is not fighting well on his side, and he should have sent us to the south, but now why do I think that the teacher is guarding against us? There is no reason! What place do we have worthy of the teacher, a dignified imperial prime minister, to guard again?"

Xu Fan's vigilance came very suddenly, not to mention Wang Ce, even if Xu Chen came in person, I am afraid that he would never have imagined that a sentence he quoted casually created Xu Fan's deep vigilance against himself.

In fact, in the final analysis, it's because Xu Chen is too demonic!

Such an extraordinary young man is far beyond the scope of his peers, and his origin is mysterious, even if Xu Fan sent many groups of people to investigate, he could only trace the clues to the Huineng monk of the Huangcheng Temple.

Further back, the so-called "grandfather" buried in the vast mountains in Xu Chen's mouth really only existed in Xu Chen's dictation, and Xu Fan's people had no possibility of finding it.

It's not that Xu Fan didn't think of using other methods to find out Xu Chen's origins, but he checked all the registered families in the household department, and he didn't find a suitable candidate.

In recent decades, political turmoil has occurred frequently, and there are countless people who have broken their families and destroyed their clans, even if Xu Fan has a heart, it is difficult to find traces in the smoke and dust of these histories, not to mention that Xu Chen may change his name and surname, and the difficulty is not a little bit.

In the end, Xu Fan could only designate Xu Chen as the orphan of a certain family, because it was impossible for a small family to raise such a demon!

It's just that such a characterization is really dangerous!

Xu Fan knew the ability of his eldest disciple, and originally hoped to gradually educate him by relying on his own guidance, but he didn't expect that after being soft-hearted and leaving him in the south, it has gradually become a situation that he cannot control.

Especially the sentence relayed by Wang Ce, Xu Fan, who originally had a bad guess about Xu Chen, was even more shocked after hearing those nine words.

Now, there has been no news about the battle situation on Xu Chen's side for several months, and Xu Fan, who was already suspicious, had to make a response, he was afraid that his eldest disciple would really do something stupid, so he had no choice but to confine Wang Ce and others. As long as Wang Ce and them are still in Chang'an, Xu Fan believes that Xu Chen, who has always valued affection and righteousness, will never ignore Wang Ce's life and death.

It's just that what Xu Fan didn't expect was that his precious son suddenly ran to tease Wang Ce, and Wang Ce responded in an extreme way.

The situation is getting more and more out of control!

After all, the news of Dongshi can't be hidden, Xu Junyi and his group of noble sons have been busy on the street for most of the day, and everyone who should know about such a big movement also knows.

It's just that Xu Fan, who is now preoccupied with the war in the south, really doesn't know anything about his son's actions in Dongshi.

However, the news channels in the Prime Minister's Mansion were suddenly artificially blocked......

As soon as Uncle Xu, who was sweating profusely, got out of the carriage, he ran to the study in a hurry.

"Bold! Second Young Master is so bold!"

Uncle Xu, who was in a hurry, didn't have time to think about whether Xu Junyi was being used, he just wanted to use the fastest speed to tell Xu Fan what happened in Dongshi!

Uncle Xu, who was in a hurry, suddenly bumped into the bodies of several strong servants, and after standing firm, Uncle Xu scolded angrily: "Get out of the way!"

Xu Junzhong, who was behind the strong servant, walked out, looked at Uncle Xu with a smile, and said, "The big housekeeper is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Looking at the strong servants who surrounded him, and looking at Xu Junzhong's smiling face, Uncle Xu suddenly realized: "Big young master......! It's you!"

Xu Junzhong smiled and pretended to ask, "What did the big butler say?"

Uncle Xu didn't have time to talk to him, just shouted anxiously: "Hurry!

"Are you going to see your father?" Xu Junzhong said with a smile: "Father just came back from the palace, and now he is tired and wants to rest, the big housekeeper should not disturb his father!"

"You, you ......" Looking at the strong servants who were getting closer and closer, Xu Bo said magnificently: "Young Master, stop messing around!"

"They are not people you can offend! Not to mention that you can't win against Wang Ce, even if you win by luck? When his eldest brother comes, you won't even have a chance to admit defeat!"

Xu Junzhong, who was still smiling and groaning, suddenly had a hideous face when he heard Uncle Xu's words, and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? I can't win him? Haha, joke! Big joke!"

"My dignified prime minister's son can't win a beggar?"

I can't walk, Xu Junzhong chose a very appropriate location, there was no one around, and it was at a corner of the courtyard.

It's just that even if there are people, Uncle Xu estimates that they will never dare to step forward.

He and Xiangye went to Beijing alone, and after the saint rewarded this mansion, he and Xiangye were the two in the house, and the rest of the servants were all rewarded by the saint.

After the lady arrived with the two young masters, all the internal affairs of the family were naturally handed over to the lady. After many years of living in the house, Xiangye is also accustomed to his own care, speaking of which, he, the big housekeeper of Xiangfu, can only affect the people around Xiangye.

Recently, Uncle Xu has always felt that there are more and more faces, and now it seems that the servants who were rewarded by the Holy God at the beginning are afraid that they will all be sent back. It is very likely that all the servants in the family have become the cronies of the eldest young master, and it is difficult for anyone to come even if they are afraid of breaking their throats.

After thinking about this, Uncle Xu sighed and said, "The few batches of domestic servants that Madam dismissed some time ago, I'm afraid they were all the ideas of the eldest young master, right?"

Xu Junzhong smiled noncommittally.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting out of the predicament, Uncle Xu had no choice but to persuade bitterly: "Big young master, really don't make trouble anymore! If you let the master know about it, you won't be able to escape punishment for a while!"

After Xu Junzhong vented for a while, he also remembered to be calm, and said with a smile: "What about the punishment? When the beggar dies, my father will beat me, and I am willing!"

Looking at Xu Junzhong's smiling face, Uncle Xu felt sad for no reason, the old man has worked hard all his life, how could he teach two such stupid sons in the end?

Uncle Xu, who was accustomed to seeing Xu Chen and their youth, looked at Xu Junzhong in front of him again, and had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Face, is it so important?"

Xu Junzhong snorted coldly and didn't answer, but said: "Don't worry, the big housekeeper, we are all our own family, Junzhong will not embarrass you, I just hope you can go to the side courtyard to rest!"

After speaking, without waiting for Uncle Xu to speak, he waved his hand and asked people to step forward.

Several strong servants surrounded Xu Bo, and when he was about to make a move, Xu Bo sneered: "I will leave by myself!"

After speaking, he glanced at Xu Junzhong with a mocking look again, and then turned his head and left.

Xu Junzhong, who was deeply stabbed by Uncle Xu's eyes, shouted angrily: "What about the people?

Beside him, a servant hurriedly bowed down and replied: "If you go back to the eldest young master, you have all contacted it, and they are all first-class masters!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Junzhong slapped him hard, and roared with a hideous face: "Big young master? Ah? I'm older than you, damn young master! If you dare to call me Young Master Lao Tzu again, do you believe it that Lao Tzu killed me?"

Half of the servant, whose face was red and swollen and bleeding, hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "Yes! Yes!

Xu Junzhong stroked his numb palm, looked at the east from afar, and said viciously: "You must not let that little beggar survive tonight!"
