Empress Wei said sincerely: "Then what should I do?" Please sister teach me! ”

"Centrists are not only in the court, but also outside the court, and the queen can follow the allusion of buying bones with a thousand dollars!"

The allusion of buying bones for a thousand dollars, Queen Wei knows.

"Sister, can you be more specific?" Empress Wei was thoughtful.

Shangguan Wan'er asked, "Queen Mother, have you heard about Chang'an Cen's Qianzhuang?" ”

Empress Wei shook her head, the things above the court were enough for her to have a headache, how could she be in the mood to care about a small bank.

Shangguan Wan'er recounted the dispute between Cen and Taifeng to Empress Wei in detail.

"It turned out to be Lu Gongzi!" When Empress Wei heard this, she couldn't help but admire: "It's not easy for him to make such a move!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er echoed: "Niangniang is right, this Lu Xiaoxian is a typical centrist outside the court. It stands to reason that he does not belong to the power of the queen mother, nor the power of Princess Taiping. But because of Taifeng Qianzhuang's actions, not only did Long Zhuang, Ashina Xian, Wang Hufeng, Yuzhen County Lord, Jincheng County Lord and others try their best to help him get out of trouble, as far as I know, even Princess Taiping's staff is secretly helping him. ”

"Princess Taiping also shot?" Empress Wei felt that things were not simple.

Shangguan Wan'er said noncommittally: "Whether it is Taifeng Qianzhuang who crushes Cen Qianzhuang in the end, or Cen Qianzhuang survives the catastrophe, I think Lu Xiaoxian and the group of people behind him will no longer be centrist after this matter!"

Empress Wei lowered her head and pondered, as if savoring the entanglement.

"Flutter", Shangguan Wan'er laughed inexplicably.

Empress Wei raised her head and stared at Shangguan Wan'er in dismay: "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and said: "I suddenly remembered something, I couldn't help but feel funny, please don't blame Niangniang!" ”

"What's the matter? Let's hear it! Empress Wei was also curious.

"Niangniang, do you know where the 100,000 taels of silver that the county lord of Yuzhen raised for Lu Xiaoxian came from?"

"Where did it come from?"

"She borrowed it from Princess Anle!"

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Empress Wei's face became very ugly.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er closed her mouth with interest, some words are good to be pointed, and it will be self-defeating to say more, she knows that Empress Wei has already made her own decision.

Sent away Guan Wan'er, Queen Wei's mood not only did not get better, but became more irritable.

Empress Wei, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped and shouted towards the door: "Someone! ”

After Qiaolian came in, Empress Wei ordered, "Go and invite Princess Anle here." ”

Li Bao'er suddenly heard that the queen mother had summoned her, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurried to the palace.

When Empress Wei saw Li Bao'er, she asked, "Do you know about the dispute between Taifeng Qianzhuang and Cen Qianzhuang?" ”

Li Bao'er was stunned, shook her head and said: "I don't know, Taifeng Qianzhuang has always been taken care of by Liuyang, and I rarely ask!" What's wrong? Queen mother? ”

"You ......" Empress Wei didn't know what to say, her daughter made an enemy for herself, and she didn't know how to do it.

"Let me ask you, Li Nunu borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from you, but is there such a thing?"

"There's this!" Li Bao'er thought that the queen mother did not agree to lend her money to Li Nunu, so she explained, "The slave slave usually acts in a measured manner and is very respectful to the queen mother and me, so I lent her the silver!" ”

"You didn't ask, why did she borrow money?"

Li Bao'er didn't care and said: "It's just 100,000 taels of silver, I don't bother to ask!" ”

Empress Wei's chest rose and fell, and her expression on her face kept changing.

Li Bao'er rarely saw the queen mother like this, and shouted cautiously: "The queen mother! ”

Empress Wei took a long breath and instructed Li Bao'er: "After you go back, tell Liu Yang not to embarrass the Cen family in the future!" Also, try to have a good relationship with Cen's Money Bank, cooperate well, and it doesn't matter if you lose some silver! ”

Li Bao'er felt that the queen mother was a little abnormal today, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this?" ”

"Don't ask why, just do what I say!" Empress Wei waved her hand impatiently and said, "Go back!" ”

On the second day after Shangguan Wan'er entered the palace, Taifeng Qianzhuang changed its previous attitude, and Xu Cheng, the treasurer of Qianzhuang, personally came to the door to discuss cooperation with Cen Shaobai.

When the news came out, the business of Cen's money bank suddenly boomed again, and it gained a firm foothold in Chang'an City.

……

How to arrange Lu Xiaoxian to walk the dart made Long Zhuang a headache.

Lu Xiaoxian single-handedly made Taifeng Qianzhuang bow his head, and the owner behind Taifeng Qianzhuang was Princess Anle, the first princess of the Tang Dynasty. That alone is eye-catching.

No matter what others think, Lu Xiaoxian still goes his own way, he thinks that he is still the executioner of the Long's dart game, since he is the executioner, then the dart is a matter of course.

Some time ago, for the sake of Qianzhuang, Lu Xiaoxian was tired enough, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to go out to relax.

If it weren't for the insignificance of this dart, no matter how Lu Xiaoxian begged, Long Zhuang would never let Lu Xiaoxian take this dart.

Of course, Long Zhuang was not worried about the problem with the dart, but was afraid that Lu Xiaoxian would make some mistakes.

This dart has one dart head, three dart masters, and five executioners.

Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi are just nominal executioners, they don't have to do anything, just follow the dart team

Even if the two of them wanted to do it, others would not let them do it, which was repeatedly ordered by the bureau master Long Zhuang. What's more, Lu Xiaoxian is the master of the bureau on an equal footing with Long Zhuang in terms of name.

Lu Xiaoxian is not easy to embarrass his fellow travelers, he is happy to be leisurely, and he and Lu Xiaoyi along the way, just like going out to travel.

It took less than ten days for the darts to be safely delivered to Weizhou, and the handover was made with the cargo owner, making the return journey easier.

Lu Xiaoxian was not in a hurry to leave, and took a few people with him to eat and drink all the way, just like a gentleman, and he was not short of money anyway.

The dart masters and executioners don't need to spend a penny to eat and drink, and the good things that fall from the sky make them so happy that they can't close their mouths, and they are naturally willing to obey Lu Xiaoxian's orders.

On this day, they entered the territory of Qinzhou, and after Qinzhou was the territory of Gyeonggi.

Both sides of the official road are covered with autumn yellow leaves, and the gold shines with a poignant color. The breeze blew, and the cold was blowing, and countless yellow leaves were fluttering and falling dust, and there was a chill in the air.

The autumn wind is bleak, the forest is dyed, a piece of golden, in the noon sun, walking on this official road, there is indeed a different taste.

Suddenly, a few moans came from the grove on the side of the official road.

Lu Xiaoxian reined in his horse and squinted, but couldn't see anything.

He turned over and dismounted, and said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

Everyone accompanied Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi into the woods and saw a bloody man lying in the weeds of the grove.

He was a young man, unclothed, and his exposed skin, like his face, was bruised and bruised.

The boy's hair was shaved, and a swarthy iron ring was around his neck, and the bloodstained iron ring was stained with rust. He was thin, and the skin on his chest was tightly clung to his sternum, and it was covered with shocking whip marks, and the wounds were deep into the bones, and the foul-smelling pus and blood were dripping.

The dart head of this dart is surnamed Zhu, and he whispered to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, he looks like a fugitive slave, our best is to leave this matter alone!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian frowned and asked, "Why can't you take care of it?" ”

Zhu Darttou was well-informed, and he slowly explained: "The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that if you hide other people's fugitive slaves, this is a crime, and you will be punished with exile. ”

Lu Xiaoxian hesitated a little when he heard Zhu Dart's words, and then looked down, only to see the man on the ground lying in the grass, exhaling with difficulty, coughing from time to time, coughing up blood, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, he said to Zhu Darthead: "Regardless of whether he is a fugitive slave or not, look at him like this, if we don't care, we will definitely die here!" Besides, even if he is a fugitive slave, we are just saving him, so how can he hide it? It's a big deal to wait for his master to come, and then hand it back! ”

"If people can't be saved and die in our hands, then we can't tell!" Zhu Darttou was a little worried, "Master Lu, you better think about it again!" ”

"I can't care so much, save people first, I'll take care of something!" Lu Xiaoxian cut the railway.

"Alright then!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was so resolute, Zhu Dart Tou didn't want to say anything, and ordered his dart master to hurry to the rescue.

After being busy for a while, one of the dart masters raised his head and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, this person is seriously injured, ordinary trauma medicine can't do much, you have to find a Lang Zhong." ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and looked at Zhu Darthead: "Is there a place to invite Langzhong near here?" ”

Zhu Daotou was very familiar with this road, and he said to Lu Xiaoxian: "From this official road, three miles to the south, there is a Caochuan Town, and there should be Langzhong in the town!" ”

The town of Kusagawa is a desolate but affluent town.

It is said to be desolate because the surrounding area of the town is full of such dilapidated slum-like villages, sparsely populated, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, it is indeed very wealthy, although the town is small, inns, pawnshops, gambling houses, green houses...... There is really no shortage of the same, as long as there is in Chang'an City, you can also find it in this town.

Lu Xiaoxian and his party walked on the street of Caochuan Town, and the street was not too crowded.

Lu Xiaoyi carried the young man on his back, Lu Xiaoxian walked beside him, and met someone who asked where Langzhong's shop was, but the strange thing was that when these people saw the person Lu Xiaoyi was carrying, they avoided it far away, as if they had met a plague god, and they didn't come forward to talk at all.

Lu Xiaoxian felt inexplicable, turned his head to Zhu Darthead and asked, "Zhu Darthead, do you know what's going on with these people?" ”

Zhu Darttou shook his head, he also felt very strange.

The young man leaned closer, heard Lu Xiaoxian's question, opened his swollen eyelids slightly, and said weakly, "Thank you...... Ahem, it's no wonder they're here, they're ...... It's just that...... Ahem...... It's just self-preservation. ”
