Chapter 33: The Scorching Sun (Part II)

Quan Ce's vacation ended, and he returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, he wanted to live in Chang'an this time, and brought back all the servants in the courtyard, and Quan Zhong returned to the house first to make some preparations for moving in.

On the way, I met a middle-aged couple, the man was bruised and dying, and the woman was holding a toddler waiting to be fed, unkempt and ragged, and the family was abandoned by thieves, lying in the middle of the official road, blocking the way for carriages and horses.

The steward Quan Xiang went to check, and when he saw this, he felt compassion and inquired, and learned that it was a villager in the suburbs of the eastern capital, who was captured by thieves and burned down his house, and was not tolerated by the village elders, so he was desperate.

Quan Xiang replied according to the truth, asked Quan Ce to make a decision, Quan Ce concentrated on exercising the wrist posture of holding the pen, and asked the double carp next to him casually, "The double carp said, what should I do?" ”

Shuang Carp's calves swayed, stretched out his head to look at it, pursed his lips, tilted his head and whispered, "Da Lang, there is still a gardener and a rough woman in our yard, or we will take them in."

"Listen to Shuang Li's" Quan Ce casually agreed, "Remember to ask them to press their fingerprints and sign the deed of sale"

Hearing this, Shuangli bit her lower lip and nodded happily, in her opinion, signing the deed of sale is not a humiliation, it is a guarantee, and it is their blessing to be a slave of Dalang.

"Yes, Da Lang" Quan Xiang was ordered to do something.

"Ah, Da Lang, you've grabbed the tip of the pen" Shuangli shouted, and Quan Ce smiled gently, moved his hand back, and corrected his posture.

Quan Ce and his entourage stopped in Weinan for a long time, and asked a doctor to treat the man, the wounds on his body looked scary, but they were all flesh wounds, and did not hurt the bones and internal organs.

Quan Ce went to visit in person, and the middle-aged woman was grateful to Dade, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, Quan Ce helped him up, "No need to be polite, what do you husband and wife call you?" ”

"The slave's husband's surname is Zhu, line three, and there is no name" The middle-aged woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes and kind eyes.

Quan Ce looked at the child lying on the edge of the bed, stretching out his arms and kicking his legs, "Zhu third sister-in-law, this child is yours?" ”

Zhu San's sister-in-law lowered her head, and there was nowhere to put her hands and feet, "It's a child of a slave family"

Quan Ce smiled, reached out and touched the child's chubby little face, and he grabbed his fingers, which was not small, "It's strong, but it has a name?" ”

"A poor family, there is only a cheap name, called Tiger Baby" Zhu San's sister-in-law looked at the child, her face full of love.

"This name is not good, I'll give him a name, call it peace, I wish you peace" The child opened his toothless little mouth, and wanted to send Quan Ce's fingers to his mouth, Quan Ce withdrew his fingers, and left with his hands, peace and security, more important than anything else.

"The slave family thanks the master for giving the name" I wish the third sister-in-law to kneel and kowtow, and the noble person will give her name, and she can also get a little blessing.

Entering Chang'an from Jinguangmen, the group returned to Princess Yiyang's mansion, Quan Xiang commanded his subordinates to settle the furniture, and Quan Ce went to the study.

Kwon Chung was already waiting outside the door.

“…… They dug up the grave, threw three similar bodies into the house, and set them on fire...... Extinguished the mouth of the village elder......"

Quan Ce held his forehead with his right hand, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, "How is the situation in Chang'an?" ”

“…… Dozens of Li family nobles have been arrested, and the day before yesterday, Cheng Lai Junchen in the imperial history had a conflict with the imperial historian Hou Si because of the competition for the prisoners...... Huang Guogong Li Shu gathered a crowd to resist, and his house was killed...... Princess Changle's grandson, Zuo Wei Xunfulang, absconded Liu Tong for fear of crime, and has not been arrested so far......"

Quan Ce was silent, Quan Zhong paused, and said, "The master has been cultivating himself recently, and he rarely goes out."

"Quan Li is back, I have already instructed him, you can go to him for the money on the money" Quan Ce told in a deep voice, "You just need to remember one thing, you would rather get nothing, not take risks, everything is based on safety"

"During this extraordinary period, take care of the Zhu family and his wife, and do not go out of the house, on my father's side, send more people, and when appropriate, you can do some actions to surprise him"

Kwon Chung was ordered to retire.

In the afternoon, Quan Ce went to the Tianguan Yamen to change the official certificate, and changed his body, even demoted to four levels and eight ranks, and became a civil official from the sixth grade, and he heard a lot of discussions in the yamen, all talking about a new round of purges after the martial arts, and it was not easy to say which head Li Zhen of Yuewang was, and he pulled a big banner to rebel, not to mention the extinction of the dead clan, and sent a large number of Li clan relatives to the guillotine.

"I heard that Yushitai and Lijingmen have been looking for clues about Liu Tong in the past few days, and they want to see a high level in this case."

"See the highs and lows? Phew, it's not just two mad dogs grabbing the credit"

"Tsk, these two are very capable, catch one and implicate a string, and weave charges to be airtight"

"I heard that someone was going to impeach the father and son of the Quan family of Princess Yiyang's mansion, and Wu Tianguan suppressed ......"

"Caution"

Everyone was silent, their eyes swept over Quan Ce intentionally or unintentionally, he gave up his hands, accelerated his pace, and walked out of the Tianguan Yamen, a smile flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was excluded, this is very good, the Li family will not want to use him, and the Wu family will not taboo him, Wu Chenghei knows the attitude of Empress Wu towards Quan Ce, and he will not make people block.

However, listening to the remarks of these lower-level officials, they are all focused on the Li family, and the foundation of the martial arts queen has always been insufficient.

He changed into a six-grade green shirt official uniform, entered the palace to report, Shangguan is the Fengge Sheren Wang Jiao, this person is not smiling, calm and moderate, well-read and knowledgeable, political etiquette is all-encompassing, dictating the edict, Wen Si Quangu, met with him, only raised two questions.

"How fast is your handwriting?"

"Fair"

Wang Jiao even had to test, and drafted a book to teach Zhang to talk about the Julang system, and expressed Zhang Shuo's resume and talent, and the performance of the subject examination one by one, and it was already 500 words in a moment, and Quan Ce tried his best to keep up, and after reading and writing, although the handwriting was sloppy, there were no mistakes.

Wang Jiao browsed the text he wrote, and his jaw passed, "Since you are not bad, this system is useless" led the candle to burn it.

Then he asked, "Can the body withstand staying up late?" ”

Quan Ce replied cautiously, "One or two nights are fine"

"Very good, you can join the company, I will send someone to inform the official to wait for the edict, and the queen of heaven will be on duty on the schedule, and she will arrange it for you" Wang Jiao beckoned, called a little eunuch, and ordered him to enter the inner court to report.

"Quan Zuo History, please come with me" Shangguan Wan'er did not show up, is a small palace maid, Zuo Shi is the elegant name of the living room, relative to the right history of the living room, the living room records the king's behavior and national politics, the living room records the king's decree, and the title of the left and right history is because the two of them stood under His Majesty Dan during the court meeting, and the left and right came from each other.

Entering the Zichen Gate, Shangguan Wan'er stood on the high platform with her hands in her hands, with a smile on her face, and a cold flicker in her eyes, "Quan Zuoshi, really very human, chameleon is also like, in front of me, it is a reckless man who does not understand the amorous style, and if he changes a person, he will become a tender gentleman" His eyes breathed fire, firmly locked on him, and Quan Ce knew that if there was no reasonable explanation, he was afraid that it would be bad.

In a hurry, Quan Ce pretended to be flat and asked, "Waiting for the edict, have you ever heard that you are more timid in your hometown?" ”

"What does this person's normal feelings have to do with your repeated behavior?" Shangguan Wan'er took his words, still indifferent.

"Because of homesickness for a long time, the hometown is still timid, and the neighbor is even more so" Quan Ce raised his head, looked at her for a moment, and then lowered his head again.

Shangguan Wan'er's gaze wandered over him for a long time, and he took two steps closer, and the two of them met each other, "I just said that you are more heroic, but you are also timid and tight, slaves don't dare to be gullible, unless, you can give this que touch fish and give the whole word to the slaves."

Quan Ce lowered his head, turned sideways slightly, and pulled away a little, "Ask the world, what is the love, the direct religion promises life and death, and the two flyers ...... the south and the north."

Shangguan Wan'er listened to it with great fascination, and was full of anger, looking at his respectful and cautious, slightly sad appearance, and suddenly a little nostalgic for the abruptness of the bathing hall, the beautiful woman he gave has been hanging on the table.

Quan Ce is indeed sad, rolling in this treacherous situation, degenerating greatly, his heart is getting darker, and this face is also terrible.
