Half an hour later, the wooden door of the private room where the young man was located was opened again, but it was Xie An who led the people.

"Please!" Xie An gestured to the visitor.

The visitor nodded and walked in.

"The owner, someone has been invited!" Xie An said to Wang Tieniu on the main seat.

Wang Tieniu raised his head and looked at the other party with a smile.

The person who came was a lean young man who looked to be in his thirties, with a short three-inch beard, a blue cloth jacket and a very decent cut, not tall, and slightly dark skin.

"Your name is Huaqing?" asked Wang Tieniu.

"Yes!" Hua replied lightly.

Xie An has known this person before, just the owner of a grocery store, but I heard that he was falsely accused by a small official in the yamen a while ago, and it was very miserable, but then he was okay for some reason, but the little official not only lost his official but also became an idiot. Hua Qing is also a person who has been in the yamen for a long time, so he naturally knows that there is a noble person to help Xie An.

In recent days, Xie An has often come to him to inquire about some land registration, and he has made a generous move, Hua Qing thought that it was not a big thing anyway, so he told him the truth.

Today, Xie An came to the door and said that his owner had an invitation, and Hua Qing thought about it for a while and finally agreed. After all, Xie An, the so-called proprietor, should be the one who rescued him, since this person can make a high-ranking petty official lose his official position, it is naturally easy to deal with himself, a rankless and rankless white servant.

Out of this consideration, Huaqing came today, and when he arrived, he found that Xie An's owner was only a teenager, although he was surprised, he didn't despise it, after all, it is not for nothing that the children of the wealthy family are young.

Wang Tieniu looked at Hua Qing and smiled slightly, lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand again that was reported by the young man who was sent out to investigate just now, and slowly read it out: "Hua Qing, male, thirty-two years old, lives in the north of Chengguan Street, Yongpingfang, Yangzhou, there are two willow trees planted in front of the door, his hometown is in Huajia Village, under the old man's mountain two hundred miles north of Yangzhou City, his father's name is Hua Laoqi, and there are still two brothers, one sister, and two younger sisters in the family......"

"Who are you, what do you want to do?" Hua Qing said angrily when he heard that he had checked his family history.

"Don't worry, wait until I'm done!" Wang Tieniu raised his head and laughed softly.

"Eight years ago, I came to Yangzhou City from my hometown, because I was clever and was taken in by Lan Tianming, who was on an errand in the Yamen at that time, and taught you to read and write, five years ago Lan Tianming was seriously ill and died, so you took his place as a white servant and entered the Yamen on an errand, and married Lan Cuicui, the daughter of Lan Tianming. ”

"I'm not wrong, am I?" asked Wang Tieniu.

Hua Qing just looked at him with a sneer.

"Hehe, but as far as I know from the neighbors, Lan Tianming is just over fifty, and his body has always been tough, but since seven years ago, that is, a year after you went to the Lan family, Lan Tianming has often been sick, at first it was just a small problem, but later it became more and more serious, and finally he couldn't afford to get sick. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tieniu looked at Hua Qing again, but saw that the other party was still frowning coldly, and his face was expressionless.

Praised Huaqing's dough in his heart, Wang Tieniu continued: "Coincidentally, a few months ago, when I went to a pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, the shopkeeper had specially introduced a nameless herb unique to Yangzhou, the shape is very similar to star anise, but the effect is completely different, this medicine can also have the aroma of star anise when cooking, but it must not be eaten more, otherwise the body will get worse and worse, greatly increasing the chance of disease." ”

The shopkeeper said that this medicine is only available in the Lao Ye Mountain in the north of Yangzhou, and that the local villagers would go up the mountain to pick a few spices when they couldn't afford to buy them during the New Year's holidays. ”

"Do you think this is a coincidence?" said Wang Tieniu with a smile.

Hua Qing also smiled and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Hehe, don't mind! I'm usually a person who likes to chatter, but I don't know what I'm talking about!" Wang Tieniu replied with a smile.

"Since you're done, then I'll take my leave!" After speaking, Hua Qing turned around and walked towards the wooden door of the private room.

Seeing this, Wang Tieniu just said lightly: "I can give you a chance!"

Hua Qing's footsteps walking outward stopped.

The corners of Wang Tieniu's mouth rose slightly, and then said: "Within two years, I will guarantee you with eight grades of official residence and ten thousand family wealth." ”

The management of the Tang Dynasty was generally low, and the prime minister was the third grade, from a white servant to an eight-rank court official, at least he was promoted to the fourth level, which was already very remarkable! If Wang Tieniu promised more, Huaqing would not believe it!

"What am I going to do?" Hua Qing also calmed down at the moment, the other party said so much just to use himself, as long as he still has use value, he will naturally be safe.

"Clever! I like to deal with smart people!" Wang Tieniu praised and said with a smile.

"What exactly do you want to do, Lao Xie will look for you in the future! Here is a bag of money, I want you to consolidate your position first and then talk about it, in a few days, there will definitely be a transfer within the yamen, but no matter what, your current ministry in the yamen must not be lost!"

"Otherwise...... You should understand the consequences!" Wang Tieniu waved to a young man beside him, who then picked up a large bag from the ground and walked towards Hua Qing.

Hua Qing took the bag and started it very heavy, and it took two hands to be able to lift it.

When I opened the mouth of the bag, I saw that it was full of round silver cakes, each of which looked to be at least twenty taels, and the bag contained at least dozens of such silver cakes.

In this day and age, there are not enough copper coins on the market in Datang, and silver is even more scarce! Most of the silver is hidden at home as a collectible, and it is rarely directly traded on the market. Therefore, according to today's silver price, three or four copper coins can be exchanged for one or two silver, and there are thousands of taels of silver in this bag, which is four or five thousand copper coins, which Huaqing can't earn in his life!

Hua Qing held a silver bag in his hand, looked at Wang Tieniu intently, and only said after a long time: "You're not afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"This is just a little money! Besides, you are a smart person and know what to do!" Wang Tieniu looked into Hua Qing's eyes and said lightly.

Hua Qing looked at it for a moment, and then bowed slightly: "Okay! I've done this deal!"

After saying that, he put the silver bag on his back and walked out the door.

At the door, a guy walked by with a dinner plate, looked at Hua Qing, and then looked at the big bag he was carrying behind him, his nose moved, and then he left as if nothing happened.

"Tie Niu, why didn't you ...... just now" Zheng Tai was about to speak, but when he saw Wang Tieniu, he immediately made a silent gesture.

"The wall has ears!" Wang Tieniu approached Zheng Tai and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

"Then you are still meeting here?" asked Zheng Tai in surprise.

"What's the solution? We've already caught the attention of the shopkeeper of this Drunken Immortal Building! Even if he changes places temporarily, this guy will find a way to keep up, and I'm afraid that more things will be exposed at that time, but fortunately, I will plan it, stay here and let them see it clearly!" Wang Tieniu replied softly.

Hearing this, Zheng Tai nodded.

Outside the private room, the guy who was walking back and forth with a tray suddenly heard no sound inside, but he was also alert, and hurriedly took two quick steps forward, turned around the corner, and disappeared.

In the hall on the first floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, the guy found the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper understood, and after letting people help take care of it, he led the guy to a secluded place in the back hall.

"Say!" ordered the shopkeeper.

"Yes, shopkeeper, the guy just saw someone!" replied the man.

"Who?" asked the shopkeeper.

"I don't know if it's small, but looking at the clothes on my body, it should be someone from the Yamen!" the guy recalled.

"Are you sure?" asked the shopkeeper.

The guy nodded and replied, "Sure!"

When Xie An went to invite Huaqing, it happened to be the time when he was about to get off work in the morning, Huaqing was just a classless little white servant, naturally not to the point where he could dress casually, and he was still wearing the same set of green clothes issued by the yamen. The drunken immortal building is at the gate of the yamen, and the guys inside have to see a lot of people in the public gate every day, although they don't know Huaqing, but the clothes on his body can be distinguished at a glance.

"Did they say anything?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Uh...... But it seems that the two sides have made some kind of deal, because the little one saw that the people in this yamen came out with a big bag on their backs, which the group had brought in before, and it should have been filled with silver cakes!" the man said with certainty.

"Silver, are you sure?" asked the shopkeeper, surprised.

The guy recalled seriously for a moment, nodded and said: "Can you be sure! It must be silver! You don't know the shopkeeper, this little nose thief is bright! Don't dare to say anything else, this copper coin, silver cake or something, that's a smell of a quasi!"

After listening to this, the shopkeeper nodded, thinking that he also knew this guy's specialty.

Seeing the shopkeeper's contemplation for a long time, the guy asked tentatively, "The shopkeeper, do you still want to eavesdrop on the little one?"

"Oh, no, don't do it yet, go back first!" said the shopkeeper, who awoke from deep thought.

The man arched his hand towards the shopkeeper, then turned and walked away.

"Silver? What do these people want to do by bribing the people in the yamen? They look like people from the rivers and lakes, but they are so young and generous, and the people in the yamen are not jailers or cell bosses! What do these people want to do?"

"Alas! No matter! Let's go back and report to the boss first! Let the big boss think about these things!"

After thinking about it for a long time, the shopkeeper, who still had nothing to gain, whispered, and then summoned a fellow and gave him some advice.

After a while, the man who got the order left the Drunken Immortal Tower, headed towards the north of the Taishou Yamen, and walked for half an hour before he came to the gate of a huge mansion.

There was a burst of applause in the courtyard......
