Leaving the city in August, saying that the romance, the total sigh, the time is relenting, it doesn't care how religiously you stay, just like a bird in the sky, who also passes by.

On Han Yan's way to Luoyang to run errands, Feng and Han Erdan are also considered to be one of the rangers, well-informed, and the two of them actually heard terrible news - last year in Hejian Country, according to Sang, he was engaged in and sent overseas, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, his uncle and hero according to Meng had not moved, and Han Yan was also worried for a long time. Until a few days ago, a wanted notice suddenly circulated on the rivers and lakes of Luoyang, if anyone can get off the arms and legs of Han Yan, they will have a lot of money to get, and they can also get the appreciation of the hero according to Meng......

Although the wanted notice does not clearly circulate why this is done, when it comes to Han Yan and Ji Meng, people will inevitably think of the festival between the two, and they will also think that according to Meng is to avenge his nephew.

The news came so suddenly, which made Han Yan a little stunned, he almost forgot about it, how could Meng only think of finding fault after a year?

And it happened that he issued a wanted warrant on the way to Luoyang, and he knew that I would go?

He has only recovered from a serious illness, and he has not done anything remarkable during this time, except that the emperor wants to upgrade the paper department, cut off the wealth of Shaofu God, and win the paper sales share of Chang'an City.

Thinking about it like this, Han Yan realized that someone didn't want him to go to Luoyang.

Shaofu God passed on the elm paper secret recipe, which led to the birth of paper-making predators in Luoyang, paper passed through the country, and the wealth was rolling, Shaofu God must have a part in it, maybe the hero according to Meng also ate kickbacks in it, otherwise how could he issue a wanted warrant at this juncture?

Han Yan originally planned to shake the tiger's body, shine the official seal, and use absolute authority to win the private paper workshop without a "production license", but now it seems that it is taken for granted. But he is not afraid, he just fights wits and courage, just to add a little bit of a sense of light to the calm life - because of the serious illness during this period, life is boring, faded out of the bird, always have to find some fun, life is meaningful.

There are fields on both sides of the road, the breeze blows the leaves, the golden ears of wheat reflect the white clouds, the busy figures in the fields caress the joy of cultivation, the master and servant three people drive away, for Han Yanfeng's light appearance, the pig expressed puzzlement, was wanted by the gangsters, don't you panic?

"Yan Shizi, let's go to Luoyang like this?" Pig pointed to himself and Han Erdan, signaling that we were outnumbered, and it was not enough for others to stuff their teeth.

"Well, how else would you go?" Han Yan was lying lazily in the carriage and nibbling on apples, it was really uncomfortable without human pillows, but the distance was far away, and it was not suitable to take Xi'er, so he left her in the womb.

Pig cried and said with a sad face: "Such a swagger, maybe we were chopped up by the rangers before we arrived in Luoyang......"

"Hmm...... Quite possibly. Han Yan replied after a moment's thought.

Pig: "......"

Han Er's egg urn reminded angrily: "I can fight ten with one, and no matter how many people there are, it will be unsustainable." ”

Han Yan thought about it, the situation is indeed a bit bad, during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, according to Meng, he recruited 20,000 people to join the army only by virtue of his own prestige, which shows that his hands and eyes in Luoyang are all over the sky, and his power is comparable to that of the imperial court.

Han Yan: "I am not familiar with the place of life in Luoyang on this trip, and I really can't act recklessly, I must first find out the situation before starting, and at the same time, I must avoid those rangers, so as not to be incomplete." There's only one way...... Disguise. ”

Pig and Han Erdan glanced at each other, and Ying Cheng said: "Why don't I and Erdan go into the city to inquire about the situation, Shizi, you wait for us in the stable outside the city, forgive those rangers and don't dare to attack the official post." ”

After thinking about it, Han Yan: "Don't be so troublesome, Han said that he wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he bought a few commercial houses in Luoyang, and we should find a place to live, and by the way, disguise himself as a businessman to make a living, anyway, I am not in a hurry to go back on this trip, and it is good to come out and play for a few days." ”

"......" the two brothers were speechless. You are in the tiger's den, wandering in the enemy's nest, with this indifferent mentality, I don't know whether to say that you lack heart and eyes or really have no fear. The outside is different from the capital Chang'an, where the wealthy families are divided, the princes are kings, and the rangers are rampant, without the crown prince to follow it, how can you still be so arrogant?

Alas, this is probably the reason why people are masters and you are slaves, and pretending to be forced into the enemy's lair is also a big tail...... Pig thought so.

……

With a population of more than 300,000, Luoyang City is known as "the capital of the Han Dynasty", and its residents are mainly the old nobles of the Shang Dynasty, who operate traditional industry and commerce, and create a metropolis known for its commerce.

Among them, the most influential is the Shi family, engaged in large-scale commodity trafficking, with more than 100 carts transporting goods, forming a continuous caravan to and from all parts of the Han Dynasty, in Yan, Zhao, Jiaoxi and other vassal capitals set up shops, all industries are involved, it is said that its family property has hundreds of millions, it is really rich and rival the country.

The reason why paper can be popularized in the world in a short period of time is due to the contribution of the teacher.

In the same way, paper also brought huge profits to the teacher's family. In this ancient Han Dynasty, limited to the underdevelopment of geography and transportation, it was easy to make paper, but it was very difficult to sell, and it was the two dealers who really made money, they controlled the sales and market prices, and the so-called "market price" was set by them, and even the son-in-law of the god of Shaofu, "Ling", had to look at their faces.

Today, the master family feasted the guests, and after some staggering, the spirit was finally left by the head of the master family.

"Senior Brother Zhen, what are you leaving me for?" Ling looked at the plump servant girl who retreated from the hall and drooled secretly, if it weren't for the tigress at home, she would definitely ask this maid to try it.

"Brother Ling, I don't talk nonsense, I know how your paper came from, Your Majesty Xu Gong Gaohou Sun Han Yan's paper benefits, you steal the secret recipe and grab food, aren't you afraid that Han Yan will reason with Your Majesty?" Shi Zhen was blunt.

"You are too worried, my father-in-law, Shaofu Shen, is a close confidant of His Majesty, and he is Han Yan's superior, ranking Jiuqing, for a small piece of paper, Your Majesty will not offend my father-in-law." Ling took a sip of tea, and felt funny at Shi Zhen's unfounded worries.

"But my caravan brought back news from Chang'an, your father-in-law has lost control of the paper company, the paper share of the entire Chang'an City was taken away by Han Yan, and the Gong Gao Marquis took over the supply of paper, and even the paper division has been discontinued.

"What?" Ling was stunned and incredulous, and only after a while did he ask, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true, and Han Yan has already left Chang'an City and is on his way to Luoyang, I think your father-in-law will also inform you, Han Yan's purpose of this trip must be to uproot your family's paper workshop, when he comes, how do you deal with yourself?"

"He dares!" Ling clapped the case, and his voice was cold. He has been going smoothly these days, with the support of his father-in-law, he is also a hegemon in Luoyang, how can a hairy child move?

"I don't know if he dares or not, but he is a Shaofu paper man appointed by His Majesty, with a rank of six hundred stones, an upright court official, who leads the world's papermaking affairs, if you want to uproot your family's papermaking workshop, you just need to find Taishou and show the official seal, and there will be official documents issued, and there will be messengers to the door. Your father-in-law has a noble status in Chang'an, but this is Luoyang, Taishou may not buy your father-in-law's face, you should take precautions. ”

After a pause, Shi Zhen felt that he should make his words clear, because this is the meaning of leaving a spirit after today's banquet, "If your family's paper-making workshop is pulled out, I can only find Gong Gaohou to cooperate, and the merchant will benefit, and I hope that Brother Ling will not be strange." ”

"You ......" Ling glared at Shi Zhen, he didn't expect the Shi family to be so philistine and turn his face so quickly.

"Ahaha." Shi Zhen pretended to smile heartily to relieve the embarrassment, and said: "Brother Ling, don't worry, I'm just saying this, so that you can be prepared, as long as Han Yan doesn't come, as long as your family is still making paper, of course I want your family's paper first, after all, our two families are in Luoyang, and we have a deep relationship, and we still have affection." ”

"That's the best." Ling snorted lightly in his throat, indicating that even if you knew each other, he was about to straighten out his sleeves and say goodbye, so he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "When I solve that Han Yan, why don't you lend me the maid just now as an envoy?" ”

"This ......" teacher is really embarrassed. If it weren't for the tigress at home, I would have married her as a concubine.

But if you don't agree, then your face won't look good, and when Ling solves Han Yan, maybe he will find someone else to cooperate with the goods, after all, there are still many families in Luoyang who are engaged in transportation, and the cake is very big, and others have been coveting it for a long time, and it is said that there are still people who go to the remote place of Gonggao Marquis to bid for paper.

A servant girl, no matter how much you like it, it can't be as comfortable as the daily income of the gold, Shi Zhen thought about it, and gritted his teeth, "Then it depends on Brother Ling's ability, Xiang'er will help you raise it with me for the time being, and when you stabilize the papermaking matter, you can take her away at any time, and it should be a witness to our friendship." ”

"Okay, Brother Shizhen, I'm going to have good news."

Ling Xingli wanted to leave, but was stopped by Shi Zhen and asked, "What is Brother Ling going to do?" That Han Yan is an official of the imperial court, you must not be stupid, otherwise the emperor will track it down, and you and I will raze the three clans! ”

"Brother Shizhen is too worried, of course I won't hurt him in the open."

"So what do you do?"

"This ......" Ling pondered for a moment, as if considering whether Shi Zhen could be trusted, and finally only spit out lightly: "Borrow a knife to kill ......"

……

A day later, also in Luoyang, in an inconspicuous civilian house, the sunlight shone into the hall, shining a few spots of light, and the occasional footsteps would disturb the scene.

According to Meng, he paced back and forth in the room, looking uneasy.

"According to the chivalrous ......," someone outside the door came in impatiently to say hello.

"How's it going?" According to Meng, he hurriedly asked.

"The rumors don't know where they started, there are rumors that you want to cut off Han Yan's arms and legs to make Yi Sang angry, and some people say that if you take Han Yan's arms and legs, you can exchange them for a thousand gold, and you can value ......"

"When did I say I was going to trouble Han Yan?" According to the mulberry dragon spirit and tiger fierce, the fur is draped, and the heroic atmosphere is permeated, and the eyes are glaring at this time, which is very intimidating.

"You haven't said it, but that's the rumor in the market......" The subordinate smiled bitterly, thought for a while and said, "Why don't I help you come forward to clear up the rumors?" But ......"

After a pause, without waiting for Meng to speak, his subordinates preemptively said: "But in that case, the rangers will think that you are afraid of that hairy boy, and only yesterday you said that you wanted his arms and legs, but today you will break your promise, which will damage your reputation and prestige." ”

"This ......" according to Meng hesitated, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, and they are mixed with a face, even if they are driven to the shelves many times, they have to be strong and not weaken their momentum, otherwise the rangers will think that you are "not good", there will be gossip, and it will weaken the status of the big guy in the rivers and lakes.

"If you want me to say ......" his subordinates pondered for a while and persuaded: "According to Sang's hatred, he is your nephew after all, then Han Yan bullied him so much, you should be the uncle of the first place, but we can't easily spare the person who spread the rumors, this person has evil intentions, provokes trouble, and uses you as a weapon, so he must make him look good." ”

"Han Yan is an official of the imperial court, and he is supported by the crown prince behind him, if someone really cuts off his hands and feet, it will be an attack on the ministers of the imperial court, and the emperor will pursue it......" According to Meng, he was worried and worried.

He likes to fight unevenly, when the ranger helps the weak and the poor in this life, scatters all over the family wealth, hides the heroes, and does not ask for compensation, this is a great reputation, but it is also feared by the imperial court, the emperor is afraid that he will carry the city to self-respect, after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he let the Taishou secretly beat, this time his best friend Zhou Yafu was killed by the emperor again, in his opinion, it is to kill chickens and monkeys, this critical moment also came out to jump, and it is no different from looking for death.

But it's easy to mix up this reputation, how can there be any reason not to cherish it?

What a dilemma......
