Fan Lou was indeed outside the imperial city, and Zhao Xu and the three of them walked a few steps to arrive.

Chen Pi had already booked a place on the second floor, otherwise there might not be a seat here.

Fan Lou is a two-story restaurant, surrounded by three sides, hollowed out in the middle, people sitting on three sides of the second floor, can see the singing and dancing and other performances on the first floor.

Zhao Xu sat on the side on the right, looking at the famous Fan Lou with a smile on his face.

Chen Pi and Chu You were standing behind him, and the other guards in their regular clothes were also quietly guarding not far away.

Chen Pi looked around vigilantly for a while, and said in a low voice: "Official, at most, Gao Langjun will come over in a quarter of an hour." ”

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said casually: "Well, invite him over and have a meal with me." ”

Chen Pi responded, his eyes fixed on the door.

Chu You looked at Zhao Xu's back, couldn't help but bow down, and said in a low voice: "Official, if Gao Langjun really knows something, he should also tell the Empress Dowager, will it be a superfluous move for us to do this?" ”

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Grandmother must have found something, but there is a lack of evidence, so she is still investigating." This Gao Gongji's whereabouts that day were sneaky, and he couldn't hide afterwards, so he must have seen something. Whether or not the grandmother knows about it, we don't know about it, but if we know about it, we can almost guess what the grandmother has found. This allows us to solve cases faster than our grandmothers. ”

Zhao Xu must solve the case one step ahead of Empress Dowager Gao in order to show everyone his existence, otherwise he will still be the little emperor and puppet under the wing of Empress Dowager Gao!

Chu You suddenly bowed down and said, "Yes, the villain has a lot of mouths." ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand and looked at it casually.

At this moment, an old man with gray hair, in his early fifties, dressed in a gray Confucian shirt, came in angrily, his eyes swept back and forth, stared at a table in the lobby, and strode over with angry eyes.

"Meng Mugu!"

The old man roared angrily, stretching out his hands to grab a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man sitting with his back to Zhao Xu.

The young man did not move, still looking at the song and dance not far away with great interest.

Two subordinates behind him came over, directly grabbed the old man, and dragged him to throw him out.

The old man struggled, kicked out the shoes on both feet, and shouted even more: "Meng Mugu, you cheated in the imperial examination, your Nie family sold the official mantle, and gave it to each other privately, I will go to the court to sue you!" ”

Before the old man's words fell, the entire Fan Tower seemed to be quiet.

The old man's words are extremely serious accusations, and if they are really sued in the court, there must be some evidence. Fraud in the imperial examination and selling official titles have always been the two taboos in officialdom, and everyone must pay attention to three points.

Even Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, turning between the two.

The young man, who was originally very calm, looked slightly cold, glanced at the old man, and beckoned to the two subordinates.

The young man's name is Meng Tang, the word Mugu, he looked at the old man who was dragged over, and sneered: "You have white hair and a bright head, do nothing, eat dry ancestral shade, sell all your family property, and even rely on your children and grandchildren to help, and survive for a long time!" It took 30 years to get the exam, and I was still in sixth place, and I was in fourth place. You are too old to be used, but I am young and strong. When it comes to the canon, what's the problem with me before you? ”

The old man shouted angrily, broke free from the hands of the two subordinates, and spat directly at Meng Tang, saying, "I'm phew! In terms of your qualifications, are you as good as me? And half a month ago I was still in the second alternate, but you stepped in sideways, making me the third, not the relationship of my grandfather, who can believe it! ”

Meng Tang was enraged, stood up, and sneered: "I also told you, I didn't care about this candidate, after all, I am the one who will be promoted to the Jinshi in the spring of next year, but your appearance, I tell you, I will stand in the way and let you fail to fill the vacancy this time!" You're fifty-two years old, and I see if you'll continue to wait or try for the next three years! ”

The old man's white beard trembled, his face was blue, and he said, "Okay, good!" Your Meng family is so majestic, you wait for me, I'll go to the Imperial Academy, go to the Yushitai, I don't believe that your Meng family can cover the sky with one hand! ”

Meng Tang sneered again and again, and said: "You have lost all your family business, you have eaten the shadow of your ancestors, and your relatives and friends have been borrowed by you, avoiding you like a snake and scorpion." You go to the Imperial Historical Observatory and admonish me, who will speak for you? I'll tell you, don't talk about the Imperial Historical Tower, the Imperial Academy, even if you beat the drum and report it to Your Majesty, you can't change this matter, I Meng Mugu said! ”

The old man pointed at Meng Tang with one hand, his face turned red, his eyes widened angrily, and he couldn't say a word of anger.

But Zhao Xu upstairs was stunned when he heard it, originally he thought that this Meng Mugu was right, so he turned his head and stepped on him?

He looked at Meng Tang's back carefully, then turned his head to look at Chen Pi and Chu You, and said, "What did he say?" ”

Chen Pi and Chu You bowed in unison, and their expressions were almost the same—the corners of their mouths twitched, and there was no expression.

The thoughts in the hearts of the two also tend to be similar, this Meng Mugu is really going to find things for himself, saying that it is not good, but he is ashamed to talk about the official family.

The old man downstairs was angry, and he wanted to rush up to fight with Meng Mugu again.

The surrounding spectators were also whispering, pointing and pointing between the two.

Where would Meng Tang fight with this old man, sat back calmly, and said, "Throw it out, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he will not have money to eat in this Fan Building." ”

The two subordinates walked towards the old man again, and where the old man was willing, he rushed over to fight with Meng Tang.

"Come and see, come and see, it's time to fight!"

"That old man is in good shape, hey, he's got a teapot!"

"That Meng Tang was drenched, haha, he couldn't help it......"

"Don't stop, let them fight, it's much better than singing and dancing......"

The upstairs and downstairs guests stood up one after another, watching the fight of several people below, and teasing.

Zhao Xu kept watching, taking in the movements of several people, the old man obviously didn't care about Sven, and that Meng Tang was also a teenager, and the two were already scuffling together, regardless of the decency they cared about the most in the past.

Zhao Xu shook his head secretly, and said to Chu You: "Call them up, let people stare out of the door, don't let them spoil Gao Langjun's interest and not come in." ”

Chu You hurriedly responded and went downstairs to invite someone.

Chu You forcibly separated the two who were scuffling together, Meng Tang took the opportunity to kick the old man, and said angrily: "The surname Zhou, you wait for me, you don't want to enter the government in your life!" ”

The old man fell to the ground, his hair scattered, panting, his face was blue, half-lying, and he looked unable to get up.

Chu You looked at the two of them, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to whisper: "Don't make trouble, there is an official above who asks you to go up." ”

As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately stood up, quickly tidied up his clothes, tied his hair, and stood up solemnly, and looked upward, as if he was thinking about which official in the court.

Meng Tang was still unwilling, but he also snorted coldly, sorted it out a little, raised his hand and said to Chu You: "I don't know which official it is?" ”

Chu You didn't say much, and went directly to the second floor.

The two of them were secretly in their hearts, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly followed.

They are all just promoted and have not yet entered the ranks, and they still have a sense of awe in the face of the 'officials' of the imperial court.

Chu You returned to the second floor, stood behind Zhao Xu, and looked at the two people who walked up.

Meng Tang smiled reservedly, prepared a set of rhetoric in his heart, and suddenly stopped his footsteps when he just came up, and looked at Zhao Xu blinking vigorously.
