At the entrance of the house.

Kou Ji carried one hand behind his back, holding a folding fan in the other, and looked back at the horizontal plaque on the lintel.

There are two words on the plaque.

Khao Fu.

Two simple words, but they represent Kou Ji's confidence.

He subconsciously straightened his waist and tried to make himself more like a son of an official family.

He wants to solve the trouble caused by Kou Li, although he can't use the power of Kou Fu, but the name of Kou Fu still has to be borrowed.

In Kou Li's eyes, Kou Li's disaster was just a trivial matter.

But Kou Ji knew that this matter was not trivial.

The water is deep.

So deep that Korry couldn't see what was underwater.

When Kou Li was in Huazhou Township before, he was just a poor scholar, although there was a big man like Kou Zhun in the clan, but he didn't have much to do with Kou Zhun at the beginning, and Kou Zhun couldn't help him from time to time.

So fundamentally, Kou Li is a poor man after all, a poor man who needs to pawn his family's belongings to support his study trips.

Since he recognized Kou Zhun as his father, the poor have become rich, and it is inevitable that they will be contaminated with the habits of some nouveau riche.

It's a pity that his insight, strategy, courage and other aspects have not kept up.

When he followed Kou Zhun around in the past, his meager knowledge could still be used.

But when he entered the power field of Bianjing City, his meager insight and strategy were a little stretched.

So much so that he was played around by others.

It's like a sheep, when it used to mix in the flock, it was like a fish in water, and suddenly it was in the wolf pack, and it was soon swallowed up with nothing left.

Kou Ji is different, no matter in terms of knowledge, courage, strategy, etc., he is far wider than Kou Li.

Therefore, what he can see clearly at a glance, Kou Li may not be able to see clearly.

From beginning to end, Kou Li regarded this matter as a trivial matter in the family.

But what Ko Ji saw was a big thing that wanted to eat people.

Who is Kou Zhun?

The old ministers of the two dynasties, worshiped the prime minister four times, and the official residence was a product (the official residence here is not the prime minister, and Kou Zhun does not only have the power of the prime minister).

Stomp your feet, and Bianjing City will tremble for three points.

A person who dares to spend time on layout and calculation is not a character who can be easily dealt with?

All Koji has to do now is to dig up the person hiding behind it, and find out what this person is for.

Kou Ji now understood why Wang Shu had a smile on his face when he heard him offer to see Kou Li.

Because from Kou Li's mouth, he only heard the most superficial information, and the root cause of it, Kou Li didn't know anything.

Until now, Kou Li didn't know that he was being calculated by others, let alone the true purpose of others' calculations against him.

Kou Ji didn't know whether he should be happy or sad to have such a father.

With such a shallow and cheap father, he didn't need to bother to hide his identity as a traverser in front of Kou Li, he only needed a little trick to make Kou Li not have any suspicion of him.

However, with such a shallow-minded cheap father, he doesn't want to enjoy wealth in Bianjing City in peace. He couldn't count on his cheap father to help him shelter from the wind and rain, and he had to go into battle shirtless to help his cheap father shelter from the wind and rain.

"Hey~"

Kou Ji sighed, turned the folding fan in his hand, and walked out of Mahang Street.

Erbao followed behind him and asked, "Young master, it's not early, where are we going?" ”

"Wine shops, teahouses, and foot shops, go around separately and appreciate the elegance of Bianjing."

Kou Ji responded casually.

Erbao nodded straightforwardly.

The long-timers who followed behind their master and servant glanced at Kou Ji in surprise.

He is not an ordinary long-term follower, his father was the first group of loyal servants to follow Kou Zhun, and he himself has been following Kou Zhun for many years.

Erbao didn't understand Kou Ji's intention to go to the wine store and other places, but he did.

Historically, these places have been the most convenient places to inquire about news.

Bianjing City is very large and hides a lot of secrets.

Bianjing City is also very small, and many secrets cannot be hidden.

Many secrets first leaked out of the liquor shops, teahouses, and foot shops on the streets.

The horse street where Kou Fu is located is specially for carriages and horses, and it is relatively quiet and has few shops.

Kou Ji wanted to find a place with a lot of wine shops, so he had to go to Mahang Street, through the alley between Daxiangguo Temple and Jingling Palace, and went to Yu Street.

Royal Street is far more prosperous than Mahang Street.

As soon as Kou Ji stepped into the royal street, he saw a foot shop and a wine shop.

Most of the foot shops are tenants and long-term workers who used to rest, and they will ask for a bowl of tea from the store, or squat, or sit, and gather in groups to chat.

In contrast, the customers in the wine shop are richer than they are.

Most of them are servants in wealthy families, with one or two small coins rewarded by the master's family, and they gather together in groups of three or five, ordering two pots of wine and a plate of snacks and food, and they can blow the proprietor Li Jiaxiao for a long time while sitting together.

Dressed as Kou Ji, it is naturally inappropriate to go to the foot shop.

So he took a seat in the liquor store.

At the beckoning of the shopkeeper, he asked for a pot of sweet wine and a plate of boiled beans, and sat in the wine shop while eating and drinking, without saying a word.

This sitting is half an hour.

Half an hour later, he asked Chang Sui to pay, and then he took Erbao and Chang Sui to the next house.

On the way, Erbao scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Young master, why don't we eat and drink enough in a shop, but run back and forth." ”

Kou Ji paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "What about your young master, I came out today to taste it, it tastes good, and I will often visit him in the future." If it doesn't taste good, I'll never come again.

We will live in Bianjing City in the future, and eating is the top priority, and we can't be sloppy. ”

Erbao scratched his head again, and said, "But that one just now tasted good." ”

"Maybe the next one tastes better."

“……”

The master and servant chatted without a word.

Soon it was time for the next one.

……

In this way, the three of them went in and out of the wine shops, foot shops, and teahouses on the royal street, until the evening, and then they came to the end of the royal street.

Erbao ate beautifully today, ate openly, and ate a lot of things.

When I walked to the corner of the street, my belly was round and smooth like a blowing pig's urine bubble.

Kou Ji didn't eat much, because his mind wasn't on what to eat.

After an afternoon of listening, Kou Jitan heard a lot of useful news.

The news that Kou Li had given away the imperial gift had already spread throughout the city.

At the same time, Kou Ji also confirmed the conjecture in his heart that Kou Li was indeed calculated, and it was the Wu family brothers who calculated him.

As for a history of serving the emperor from the sixth grade, no one knows why he dared to calculate and become the prime minister of the dynasty.

Kou Ji felt that he still needed to find someone to know the detailed information, and he had to figure out the purpose of the Wu family brothers' calculation of Kou Zhun.

In addition to complaining that Kou Li ruined Kou Zhun I's reputation, the people felt that Kou Zhun was going to be unlucky.

The reason why they were so sure was because the rhino belt that had been pawned by Koli was not an ordinary object.

It is said that it was a rare rhinoceros in the world that was tributed by Fanbang, and Emperor Taizong ordered the craftsmen to make two rhino belts, one for his own use, and one for Kou Zhun.

Emperor Taizong had already returned to heaven, and the rhino belt that belonged to him was also buried in the imperial tomb with him.

The rhino belt in Kou Zhun's hand can be said to be the only one in the world.

Not only is it priceless, but it also has a name in the inner house.

Even the things that the inner government is thinking about can be seen how precious it is.

And everyone expected that Kou Zhun would be unlucky, but Kou Zhun is not unlucky now, the reason is that the seriously ill official in the palace.

It is said that this official family who is fascinated by cultivating immortals, four days ago, dreamed that the goddess came and wanted to bless him and invite him to fly to the heavenly realm together.

After waking up from the dream, he immediately issued an order to let the hundred officials in the court bathe and fast for seven days instead of him, and after seven days, he would join him to welcome the blessing of the goddess.

It was precisely with these seven-day fasting and bathing days that Kou Zhun was not unlucky.

This is also the reason why Wang Shu reminded Kou Ji at the gate of the main hall of Kou Mansion that he still has three and a half days to go.
