The news of the military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty spread slowly, but the news of entertainment gossip spread quickly.

Bianjing City (the capital), which has been silent for a while, is lively in the summer of the first year of this grand view, and there is an alternative and strange story "Lanruo Temple" in many tea houses.

This was nothing in the Great Song Dynasty, but because of the intense political struggle and party struggle a while ago, in the tug-of-war between Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing, officials at all levels and levels were like watching the flowers, repeatedly following and changing, and the whole environment was relatively tense. Because of its special status, the academy does not care, but the speech control in entertainment venues is particularly strict.

As a result, the entire capital is relatively quiet.

But now, with Cai Jing's reinstatement, politics is gradually loosening. It was at this juncture that as the political trend gradually thawed, the alternative and rare story of "Lanruo Temple" in various tea houses entered the capital, and in a short period of time, it occupied the tongue of almost every storyteller.

Including the most high-end entertainment venue in the Great Song Dynasty, Fan Lou.

In addition, Taoism, which has the status of almost the state religion in the Great Song Dynasty, coincides with the thirtieth generation of the Heavenly Master Taoism, and advocates the succession to Beijing to pray for Cai Xiangye's restoration.

Zhang Jixian, the sect leader who came to eat with the feng shui of gods and ghosts, said one more sentence in response to the situation, "Cai Xiangzhi's comeback, "Lanruo Temple" became popular in Beijing, which is really the icing on the occasion."

Cai Jing may not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but there was a villain Zhao Tingzhi who made a stumbling block, which coincided with the star change that led to the resignation. This time the situation turned around, and the comeback was the same, but the teahouse was not enthusiastic in the early days, as if it did not dare to speak and did not dare to resume loose speech, but it was suddenly reversed due to the sudden popularity of "Lanruo Temple".

In this regard, although Cai Jing knew that Zhang Tianshi was a demon who talked nonsense, he also responded to the situation and reluctantly recognized the rhetoric that "Lanruo Temple" was regarded as auspicious.

This is remarkable, and it is rumored that Cai Xiangye specially sent someone to find three volumes of "Lanruo Temple" to read in the house.

The rest of the old masters watched coldly, they never looked at Xiao Baiwen, and "Lanruo Temple" was an out-and-out Xiao Baiwen. It is also rumored that they don't hate Cai Jing, but they hate Zhang Tianshi out of, in short, they think that whether it is the emperor or the prime minister, what they are most afraid of is that there are these demons around them who bewitch the public......

"Zhao Oshiji!"

In the midst of a rough shout, a big scarface man walked into the office. Unexpectedly, there is Cai Wenji with him?

Zhao Cheng felt very strange, and he didn't know how to offend Cai Wenji, she looked ill-intentioned, including the spicy Shuang'er who also pouted.

Zhao Cheng ignored the man and said to Cai Wenji: "What is the matter with Little Lady Cai?" ”

"It's okay, let's take a look." Cai Wenji's attitude was relatively cold.

Of course, he couldn't get rid of her, so Zhao Cheng looked at the scarface man again and said, "Dong Dutou has something to do?" ”

In principle, he is not from Guichi County, he belongs to the Xiang Army, and he can be regarded as a cross-system. Garrisoned in the territory of Guichi County "Huangbian Village". Where is a relatively important official road connection, extending in all directions. In terms of roles, this Dutou named Dong Jianwu is probably equivalent to the role of Li Guanghuarong in the Water Margin.

Huangbianzhai is not the standing barracks of the Chizhou Xiang Army, so Dong Dutou and his subordinates are stationed in Guichi County, so the command is in the hands of Guichi County, and the relationship between money and grain is also in Guichi County. Of course, the right of life and death is more in Guichi County. This is the characteristic of the Northern Song Dynasty, civil officials decide the life and death of people, and no matter how high the official position of a military general is, he does not have this right.

Of course, Zhao Cheng can't decide his life and death, nor is he his leader. is just a literati, and at the same time the deputy secretary general of Pei Zhi County, who decided the life and death of Dong Dutou, it stands to reason that he should not talk to Zhao Cheng like this if he gave Dong Dutou the first five guts?

"Why is Zhao Zhisi silent! What is the reason for the delay in allocating our money and food, as well as the maintenance costs of the archers in this period? Dong Dutou said.

Cai Wenji looked at Zhao Cheng quietly.

Zhao Cheng casually flipped through the pages of the dossier at hand, "Dong Dutou, please sit down, don't worry." ”

"I was ordered to bring seventy archers to garrison the Yellow Border Village, but there was not so much time to delay. The official road is rushing, and the caravans come and go from the south to the north, which is a matter of urgency. ”

Dong Dutou glanced at Cai Wenji, and his voice was much louder.

Zhao Cheng looked at him and said, "I'll draw you a chart to see, and you'll know the reason." ”

"My old Dong can't manage these many twists and turns, if you can't say it clearly, you can find the county theory!" Dong Dutou had a hint of anger.

"Turn right out of the door, he's taking a nap."

At this point, Zhao Cheng didn't want to pay attention to him, and looked down at the file.

According to the last time this guy asked for fifty taels of urine, Cai Wenji thought that he was going to collect money, after all, the new "official" and new policy, maybe after Zhao Cheng took office, everyone bullied him for being a young cowardly and down-and-out scholar, and everyone didn't invite a banquet or send money, so there was a matter of not approving Huangbianzhai's money and food.

According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, the Xiang army was stationed in Guichi County, and they "ate" in Guichi County, and the cost of money and grain went to the finance of Guichi County.

Zhao Cheng is either a decision-maker or a deputy secretary-general. The cost of repairing bows and arrows, as well as the soldiers' money and rations, is a fixed amount, which does not change from period to period. But the rule is that without the documents signed by Zhao Cheng, the main bookkeeper will never open a warehouse, because although it is a common practice, he is afraid of taking responsibility.

There was a stalemate, and Dong Dutou really didn't have the courage to talk to Pei Zhixian, so he had to look at Cai Wenji.

Cai Wenji hesitated for a while and said, "Then you might as well see what icon he wants to draw, the delay should not be as long as that of Lord Pei." ”

Dong Dutou frowned, but he had to be patient.

Zhao Cheng pulled over the small blackboard he made, drew some icons with white ash, and pulled some arrows or something.

“？” Cai Wenji was shocked by this, but she didn't expect this kid's painting to be so rough, it can be regarded as unsightly, but she can only look at it patiently.

Zhao Cheng painted, and there were words in his mouth: "In August of the second year of Chongning, on the slope of Bali Mountain in Huangbianzhai, the mutilated bodies of a woman and a ten-year-old girl were found. Identified as a beast attack. But now he has left Guichi County. ”

"In November of the third year of Chongning, the bodies of four businessmen were buried in a ravine nine miles away from Huangbian Village, and they were found, and the criminal team leader of the case, Huang Gan, was found. The goods disappeared and were stereotyped as bandits. ”

"In February of the first year of Daguan, the bodies of two women were found in the riverbed west of Huangbianzhai eight miles away, and the organizer of the case, Lu Bantou. Designated as a bandit attack ......"

Zhao Cheng said while drawing, and finally pulled the arrows of the three incidents to the three words "Dong Dutou" in the middle, and said: "There is no obvious law and connection in the timeline, the organizer of the case is not in contact, and there is no contact in the work." But the common features are all in the Huangbian Zhai Defense Area, and they are all in the period when Dong Dutou was stationed? ”

At this point, Dong Dutou and Cai Wenji couldn't help but change color together.
