In the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the fourth day of the eleventh month of winter, not seven quarters.

Xu Yanbo sent off, Wu Kang left Xu's mansion, left Sigongfang, and returned to Daozheng Fang. Drink a lot, be top-heavy, and be depressed. Xu Jingzong promised a total of 100 taels of gold, and before the curfew began, he would send it to Daoguangfang.

The new city mansion is there, just south of the Daozheng Square, and the two squares face each other across the street. Li Jiu takes care of the princess of Xincheng, whether she is visiting Luoyang or traveling to Xuzhou, he takes her by his side. When I came back from this expedition, I haven't seen Soyu yet, and I miss it a little.

Lao Xu is a tyrant and can repay the loan indefinitely without any interest. Wu Kang was grateful, but at the same time he was also very helpless, and it was estimated that within ten years, he would not be able to pay off this debt. Every year, he has to pay it, and he has no extra income, so he can only tighten his belt and pick it out of his pocket money.

The exhortation failed, and Lao Xu did not enter the oil and salt, so he had to clean up the rebels. The crown prince Xu Ang, exiled to Hainan Island, is no longer changeable. The so-called prince is in charge of the East Palace guard, and at the same time serves as the prince's secretary. Li Jiu will not allow it, he is not filial to the official and becomes a subordinate official of the prince.

The story told by Lao Xu is speechless and cannot be refuted at all. Just like Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty, he asked the emperor to cut back on food and clothing, but he was extremely poor and luxurious, and the toilet was made of pure gold. Idealism to others, realism to oneself, typical double standards, such numbers are innumerable.

When the wine was drunk, the two of them talked about everything. Xu Jingzong was drunk, took Wu Kang's hands, and asked in a chiseled manner: To tell the truth, will you look down on me if you exile the rebel Xu Ang? scolded me for being hard-hearted, said that I was a tiger poisonous eater, and said that I was a traitor.

This laughs and doesn't say anything, we are all traitorous officials and ministers. So spread my heart, please rest assured, I didn't spit on it in the slightest. Although Lao Xu was drunk, he could feel the authenticity, and he was very excited, and he was unconscious.

Lao Xu longs for a soulmate and wants to be understood. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the river was in chaos, and in order to save his life, he begged for mercy like garlic. became the laughing stock of his colleagues, and was endlessly ridiculed, so that he couldn't hold his head up. Wu Kang understands that his life is his own, what is the festival? If you haven't experienced it personally, please keep your mouth shut, and you're not qualified to comment.

For the sake of a high bride price, the daughter married a barbarian, which was commonplace in later generations. In order to make money, it is understandable to tamper with history books. Any dynasty and regime will falsify history, indicating that it has long been numb.

Exiled Xu Ang, he did not despise it, and the indifference of family affection was not strange for a long time. Before crossing the Tang Dynasty, the hometown was developed, and the Chen family, the neighbor, staged a legendary farce. Because of the huge amount of money for demolition, the father and son turned against each other, and Chen's father reported his son and staged a righteous killing of relatives.

Eighteen-year-old Xiao Chen has a weak sense of law and is married to a wife under the age of fourteen. Wu Kang befriended him, so he went to the door to persuade him, this is a crime, and the consequences are very serious. Unbeknownst to him, his father eavesdropped, and directly called the police, and Xiao Chen was imprisoned.

The conflict of interests, the temptation of money, and the bad nature of human nature have been exposed to it for a long time. Thinking of this, I laughed dumbly, and the bullshit really affected my mood. Feeling that danger was coming, Wu Kang instantly raised his head and was speechless for a while.

It was still the same woman, dagger in hand, and continued to clumsily stab. In the middle of his thoughts, he thought of six ways to resolve the crisis. Shaking his head helplessly, he didn't bother to dodge, and entered the white blade empty-handed, snatching the sharp dagger.

Hiraro lightning approached, blinking her to control her, leaning against the wall, and holding the knife to her throat. Qian Shun took the dagger and mocked the yin and yang: "The general charges into battle, the lady embroiders her legs with her fists, don't waste your thoughts, go home and practice martial arts." ”

After the ridicule was over, when I saw the big guy leaving, I hurried to follow. Pinglang put away the horizontal knife, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and he left very chic. The assassin's face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his head and yelled at his back: "Dog traitor Wu Kang, you will be punished." ”

These words were familiar, and Wu Kang stopped and tried to search his mind. At the beginning in the inexplicable valley, the woman who was poisoned by dove wine was also cursed. Seeing this, the assassin scolded even more fiercely: "The governor of Liangzhou, Shi, is my father, if you don't kill me today, he will take your dog's life every day." ”

Wu Kang slowly turned around and looked at his angry face, which was indeed like Zhao Zhiman. Lao Zhao was implicated by Wuji, framed by Xu Jingzong, exposed the body in Chang'an West City, and collected the body by Wang Fangyi. But little lady, what should you do with Xu Jingzong, what should you do with me?

After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "You are just a woman, and you should not bear these blood feuds." I married a man and had two sons. Instill the idea of revenge, then visit famous teachers and practice various martial arts. Thirty years later, when I am old and weak, I will let them take revenge. ”

Blatantly mocked, too lazy to reply, and turned away directly. Qian Shun is right, with her ability, it is as difficult as heaven to kill me. Instead of wasting time, it is better to get married and have children and contribute to the country. When he returned to the door, he instructed Lin Pinglang: "The rebellious family, the female dependents are very miserable, you can deal with it." ”

Pinglang nodded and left, and Qian Shun whispered: "Don't despise women, you have a strong sense of revenge, you can't do it today, and he will continue to do it in the future." If you have any scruples, you will deal with them and ensure that the gods and ghosts do not notice. As the saying goes, you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be a thief for a thousand days. ”

Wu Kang shook his head decisively, it was a pity to kill such a cute woman. Life is boring and needs to spice her up. Besides, I can't escape the blame for Zhao Zhiman's death. She didn't threaten, so why kill them all?

Qian Shun shut up, glanced around, and suggested in a low voice: "Dispatch thirty brothers, patrol the house day and night, and especially when you go on an expedition, you must send more people to protect the safety of your wife." The subordinates also suggested that they find a female guard to protect their wife. ”

The hero sees the same thing, his wife and daughter cannot protect themselves, and they need to be protected by guards. patted him on the shoulder and instructed lightly: "I don't have to worry about you doing things, let it go." Don't leak the news, don't let the queen know, she will kill her. ”

After speaking, he walked into the threshold, bypassed the living room in the front yard, and came to the backyard, and was dumbfounded for a moment. There were tables in the courtyard, and countless silver nuggets were placed on them, and the yards were neatly stacked. Walked over to check, the boat-shaped silver collars, fifty taels each, looked like a boat on the back, and the face looked like a case.

I don't know why, I ran over, threw myself into my arms, hugged my neck and coquettishly: "Uncle Su sent it, Grandpa Su's instructions, my mother asked him why, and he kept silent." Why did grandpa send silver, Daddy whispered, don't let my mother hear. ”

Grandpa is Su Dingfang, and uncle is Su Qingjie. The teacher was interesting enough, didn't ask him to borrow money, and took the initiative to send it to the door. But teacher, you are not serious, and when you send the money to your home, you are cheating me. The daughter-in-law came over and asked her face: "Why did Mr. give me silver, if you have something to hide from me, you will be honest immediately." ”

The atmosphere was very embarrassing, hugging the eldest girl tightly, and flattering with a smile: "The girl is here, save me some face, let's talk about it in the evening." I said don't stare at you, you can say it now, but there are conditions, you are not allowed to lose your temper. ”

Xiaoqing was noncommittal, and hooked her finger at the door, Qian Shun's fart was upside down, and she was also full of smiles. Looking up and down, Yin Yang said in a strange manner: "Qian Shun, the big housekeeper, sent someone to move the silver collar and lock it in the warehouse." No one is allowed to use it without my command, do you understand? ”

Qian Shun lowered his eyebrows and patted his chest to ensure that he would definitely complete the task. Xiaoqing rushed to the eye knife and walked to the bedroom, like a tsundere peacock. The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled bitterly, making trouble and being eccentric, and teasing in their ears: "You know the policy, Daddy asks for a lot of blessings, and his daughter can't help him." ”

Confess leniently, resist strictly, Lao Tzu knows, don't want you to teach. There was no love for a while, let go of the girl in his arms, and grinned and complained. The girl gloated, and the father stubbornly walked to the bedroom, praying for a smooth pass.

In Qinghua Fang, Daoguang Street, Pinglang stood at the corner of the fang, looking at the figure of the fangmen, and he also had a splitting headache. What was the big guy thinking, he was assassinated twice, he didn't capture the officer, and asked me to send money. It's interesting to her, and she wants to raise an outer room, which obviously doesn't make sense.

With a sad face, there was movement behind him, Huang Long turned around, and the dagger was across his chest. Zhao Sheng took three steps back, waved his hands and shouted: "Lao Lin, don't be impulsive, don't you recognize me?" What kind of knife to move, quickly put it away, don't alarm Wuhou. ”

Hiraro rolled his eyes, put away the steel dagger, and didn't bother to talk to him. At the door of Zhao Shengfang, he ridiculed cheaply: "The lady is so pitiful, her hands are on her knees, her appearance is weak, I feel pitiful." But I advise you, it's best to keep it outside, it's not easy to mess with your sister-in-law. ”

What kind of mess is there, Pinglang is even more irritable, glaring and losing his temper, and suddenly scheming out. After pulling him to the wall, he briefly told the story, and said: "She is a stupid lady, let's save the beauty of the hero and solve problems for the big guy." ”

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a sneer: "You are a bandit, I am a hero, and I will do a full set of plays." Let me get hurt, trick her into going to my house, and take care of her before the bed, absolutely secretly. I'll get her on the bed, Mr. Fat Boy. The child's father is the enemy's dead soldier, what will she say? ”

Pinglang was dumbfounded, this rabbit cub, Te is not a thing. The two conspired for a long time, Zhao Sheng stayed at the corner of the street, and Pinglang walked to the door. deliberately made a noise, waited for the assassin to raise his head, showed a steel dagger, and threatened viciously: "The general will let you go, but I won't let go, the slut will die." ”

The Assassin screamed, got to his feet, shouted for help, and fled around the corner. Pinglang chased after him, feeling helpless, and he was really a fool. You don't want to think about it, if I kill someone, can you escape?

Flee to the corner and the hero will appear. After finishing the lines, he fought to the death with his bare hands. The assassin did not run away, his delicate body trembled, and he looked at Zhao Sheng nervously. Ping Lang couldn't hold back a smile, grasped the precise strength, and cut Zhao Sheng's wrist.

Zhao Sheng flew up, kicked Pinglang down, pulled the stupid lady, and fled in a panic. When they disappeared, Hiraro got up and laughed. Suddenly, when he heard the scolding behind him, it turned out to be Wu Houwei, and he had a sad face. I was too unlucky today, so I obediently raised my hands and begged the big guy to save my life.

However, his boss is unable to protect himself at the moment, and he is also trembling. Xiaoqing's face darkened, her eyes glared and complained: "Xincheng is too good, who are you, why are you looking for your dowry?" You are also too much, such a big thing, you actually hide it from me. ”

Wu Kang scratched his head and said softly: "Don't be angry, daughter-in-law, you know, she has that temper." Return the thousand taels of silver to the teacher, I have already borrowed it. It is estimated that Xu Xianggong had already sent a hundred taels of gold to Shuyu. ”

Xiao Qingqiao's face was frosty, and she hated iron and reprimanded: "We are husband and wife, why do you choose to hide it, I am a stingy person?" You write two letters to Mr. and Xu Xianggong to explain what happened. Then let Qian Shun, point out two thousand taels, and send them over separately. ”

is so reasonable, can be called a good daughter-in-law in China, Wu Kang gave a thumbs up and gained two white eyes. was about to pat himself on the back, Qian Shun hurriedly reported: "Li Qia and Li Yang brothers, holding Li Xianggong's prayer post, are waiting in the living room." ”

When the night owl enters the house, good things will not come, Wu Kang scoffed. Li Yifu wants to be a demon and send two cubs to the door, there must be some attempt. cast a questioning look, Qian Shun immediately reported: "In early September last year, Li Qia served in the East Palace, and he led the governor of the palace in the right place. He is smart and clever, and he is deeply loved by Li Xianggong. ”

The so-called right inner rate is subordinate to the tenth rate of the East Palace, with reference to the sixteen guards. Among them, the left and right guard rates, the left and right Huaiyu rates, the left and right clearing rates, and the remote leaders fold the soldiers. The left and right prison gate rates are similar to the left and right prison guards, guarding the gates of the East Palace; The left and right internal rates are similar to the left and right Qianniu Mansion, the prince's bodyguard group.

The nature of the work is the same, but the two have no friendship, Wu Kang pondered for a moment, and instructed Qian Shun: "You are in charge of the reception, give tea to drink first, and after half an hour, bring it to the study to see me." Send Qian Liang to investigate whether Li Yifu is at home. ”

Qian Shunnuo left, Xiaoqing's eyes rolled, and she said: "There are rumors in the market that Li Yifu and his husband, his sons and sons-in-law are all selling official titles. Brother Li Yang visited, maybe for this reason, I will go with it. ”

Wu Kang gladly accepted, the husband and wife came to the study, and the daughter-in-law hid behind the screen. Half an hour passed, Qian Shun reported outside, and took the Li brothers into the door. The two brothers saluted respectfully, exchanged a few words of greetings, signaled Qian Shun to serve tea, and the two sides sat down as guests. Li Yang took the teacup and said straight to the point: "So that the general knows that my father wanted to come in person, but he was summoned by the saint." Send our brother to visit the general on his behalf. The general is a straight man, let's not beat around the bush, Yantuoti is really a young son, please help if you have something. ”

Seeing Wu Kang's doubts, Li Qia added: "Yantuo Tizhen, a member of the Tiele clan, General Zuo Wuhou." In late April this year, he and the governor of Dingxiang, Shubin, and the governor of Juyanzhou, Li Hezhu, jointly crusaded against the Khitan. Capture the Khitan chieftain Abgu and sacrifice the eastern capital Luoyang. ”

Wu Kang's mind was turning, and he quickly retrieved the information: the Yantuo Department was subordinate to Tiele, and was friendly with the Tiele Xue Department, and was collectively called Xue Yantuo. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, with Yantuo as his surname, he heard of Tizhen, General Zuowu Houwei, and a fierce grassland man.

After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and said: "Tizhen is victorious and triumphant, and he is a dignified general, even if the young son commits a crime, he can handle it." We are friends, we have met a few times, and we can't talk about friendship, how can I help? ”

Li Qia replied respectfully: "I'm afraid that this matter can only be helped by my uncle." The imperial court sealed his wife and son, and many of them were named the eldest son. Tizhen has many heirs, and the most painful young son is undressed. Tizhen asked his father to be in Zuo Qianniu Mansion to seek a position for his young son's direct servant. ”

As expected, Li Yifu sold the official mantle, and actually pulled Naiong into the water. Li Yang observed the words, put down the teacup and said, "I just heard from Uncle Yan that the general is worried about money. My father asked me to take the message, and this matter will be settled before today's curfew. ”

Damn Xu Yanbo, he doesn't close the door with a stinky mouth, it's a messy thing for Weng, do you dare to chew the root of your tongue? I already knew that Ti Zhen wanted to buy a backup, so Li Yifu came to me. The opening is a thousand times, and it is really rich; dared to meddle in Qianniu Mansion, and he was really bold.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Yan said: "Li Yang is a thousand cows, Li Qia is a long history of internal leadership, you understand the rules." The selection of Qianniuwei is all hand-picked by saints, and I, the great general, can only provide a list. All the two of you, it's useless to look for me. ”

Li Yang replied: "You just worshipped the general, you may not be very clear, the list of advantages and disadvantages, among which there is a lot of attention. If you only put the direct servant and put it in the first place, it is highly recommended. The father's official department is still in the book, if he also recommends a direct servant, then eight or nine will not leave ten. ”

Damn Li Yifu, dare to meddle in Qianniu Mansion, what a big dog. Sip the fragrant tea, and the face is pleasant: "Left and right Qianniu Mansion, protect the safety of the saint, the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai." If the direct servant has the ability and meets the superior standard, he will definitely be among the best. ”

This was a polite refusal, and the Li brothers were silent, their smiles slightly stiff. The straight servant is a wreck, if you have real talent and real learning, where will I ask you. Two minutes later, Li Yang said with a smile: "The general also understands that there are so many people who have real skills, and there are no more than two percent." If you are worried about the direct servant getting into trouble, you can arrange fewer tasks. ”

Wu Kang smiled lightly, I am a general, how to arrange the work, you are not worthy of pointing fingers. Put down the teacup and close the lid to signify the send-off. The two brothers smiled stiffly, looked at each other, and prepared to get up and say goodbye.

There was a light cough behind the screen, and the little daughter-in-law had an order, Wu Kang took the teacup again and pretended to drink tea. Two more coughs, this unlucky girl, wading in troubled waters. sighed helplessly, and said with a pleasant face: "Li Xianggong's face, this general must give." Bother the two, help me pass the word, and cover me with the affairs of the direct servant. ”

The plot reversed, and the two smiled. Saluting respectfully, Li Yang replied: "General, please rest assured, before today's curfew, my mother will visit the princess." The general is busy with official business, and it is inconvenient for us to bother, so I will leave and leave. ”

Pretending to stay, these two rabbit cubs are gone. Xiaoqing walked out of the screen, sat on Wu Kang's lap, hugged her neck and coquettishly: "Husband did the right thing, Li Yifu's holy family is Zhenglong, my sister's right-hand man, let's not fight evil." ”

Wu Kang was very disdainful, and said angrily: "He is insatiable, he is dying at the moment, what can he do with evil." But then again, looking at Mei Niang's face, it's not good to deal with him. Just participating in the sale of officials is equivalent to giving away the handle, Li Jiu cleaned me up, and there were many excuses. ”

Xiao Qing shook her head with a grin: "Li Jiu is embarrassed for you, you don't need an excuse." Cheng bit the old general Jin and listened to Wang Wendu's nonsense, just to defile himself. The more handles the husband, the bigger the stain on his body, the more relieved Li Jiu is. Our family is a relative, if he is honest and honest, he will be more vigilant. ”

seems to have some truth, Wu Kang gladly accepted it, and took advantage of his pretty face. After the war of words, he squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Every successful man has a shrewd woman behind him, and his daughter-in-law is a virtuous helper." Go and inform Qian Shun, ask Lao Li for money, and return it directly to Lao Xu. As for Lao Su, when I leave, you will return it quietly. ”

Xiaoqing's eyes were confused, and she said angrily: "Don't go to him, let him give it to Xincheng, and our family won't interfere." Your old lover, ask for a thousand, and I will give her two thousand. I am so generous, may I ask my husband, how to compensate me? ”

With a flattering eye, Wu Kang smiled cheaply: "My desk is very large, as long as I clean it up simply, I can open up the battlefield." But daughter-in-law, it may not be a good thing to give more dowry to Shuyu. I know her very well, kick her nose in the face, let's pet her like this, she will be unscrupulous. ”

Xiaoqing sneered: "Don't pretend, I know you better, I can't wait to give more." As long as she is happy and can untie the knot, money is not an issue. Getting back to the point, immediately clean up the desk, change to an unfamiliar environment, and maybe you can get pregnant. ”

It is better to obey orders than to be respectful, the battlefield will soon open up, and the battle situation will start immediately. I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door, and Qian Shun was frightened: "General Zhang, the right martial marquis, sent his subordinates to the door, and Pinglang was in trouble." said that he was armed with a knife, and he was locked up in the guard, and you were asked to pick up someone. ”

Wu Kang wiped away his sweat and said coldly: "Pinglang has always been steady, he will not be so reckless, there must be a hidden secret." I don't have time right now, you take the Qianniu Mansion waist card and figure things out. If it's trivial, bring it up, and if it's serious, come and inform me..."
