Chapter 486: Background

The results achieved by the Luoyang Industry Guild made the local merchants in Luoyang happy, and they praised the benefits of the guild. After this incident, more merchants also realized the benefits of guilds and applied to join them.

Zhang Yunwen also did not refuse to come, and accepted them all.

The guild faithfully performed its functions, and the internal members saw that the price of buying and selling was much lower than the market price, which allowed the merchants to save a lot of money and make more profits. As a result, merchants became increasingly dependent on guilds.

Seeing that half of the month had passed, Zhang Yunwen was going to go to Chang'an to preside over the pill competition, so he would return to Luoyang to check the accounts of various merchants, and then use this to collect commercial taxes.

Just when Zhang Yunwen was counting the days, the director of the Luoyang Investigation Institute came to visit Zhang Yunwen and brought a piece of news.

The woman, who was suspected to be Aunt Zhang Yunwen, has been found.

After getting the news, Zhang Yunwen threw the matter in his hand to Wang Fangyi and rushed to Chang'an.

Zhang Yunwen went back to Chang'an last time, and Li Zhi's fatwa, but this time he returned to Chang'an, but he ran back by himself. It is a big sin to leave his post without permission, so Zhang Yunwen decided to go to Li Shimin first to take the initiative to ask for guilt, so as not to impeach him by those imperial historians.

Li Shimin was also surprised when he saw Zhang Yunwen's arrival, didn't this Zhang Yunwen go back to Luoyang, why did he come back to Chang'an in a few days. questioned Zhang Yunwen at the moment.

Where did Zhang Yunwen dare to conceal it, besides, Li Shimin must have known about his request to Lin Ran to find someone, what is the use of concealing it, it will only increase Li Shimin's dissatisfaction. Immediately told the story of the matter.

Li Shimin listened, but said with a smile: "Oh, Yunwen finally found your relatives?" That's fine, I checked your background for you at the beginning, but I found nothing! I don't know where your parents came from! That's it, in that case, how can I not be close to people, so I will allow you to go back to Luoyang after you finish things in Chang'an! Yunwen, you have to remember, it won't be long before Master Luo Supo's elixir will be successfully refined! There is also the matter of Luoyang commercial tax, and no one can relax! ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly promised to respond.

After Li Shimin's pass, Zhang Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Next, it's time to go to the investigation institute to find Lin Ran.

The investigation institute was located in the imperial city, and Zhang Yunwen walked for nearly three quarters of an hour before coming to the investigation institute.

"Look, my lord, this is the man you want me to find!" Lin Ran saw Zhang Yunwen come in, knew his intention, and after beckoning him to sit down, he took out a piece of paper with dense small letters written on it.

Zhang Yunwen's heart was excited, and the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

Lin Ran knew Zhang Yunwen's mood, and he didn't laugh at him, but let Zhang Yunwen sit in the room and look at this information, and went out by himself.

It is written on the information that the woman who looks six or seven points similar to Zhang Yunwen's mother is the wife of Chu Zong in the current dynasty, whose surname is Chen, and her maiden name is still unknown. This Chu Yushi was only transferred from Weizhou Governor Shi to Chang'an Yushi in March this year. The main reason is that during his tenure in Huizhou, Wuzhou, Weizhou and other places, Chu Zong was upright and upright, and he couldn't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes, although he was disgusted in the state, but his reputation was not bad. In the evaluation at the end of last year, it was rated as the top grade.

Lang Zhong, who was examining the meritorious department of the Ministry of Officials, saw that Chu Zong was so temperamental, and suggested that Chu Zong be transferred to the palace to serve the imperial history. The history of the governor of Wei is from the sixth grade, and the history of serving the emperor in this palace is from the eighth grade. Although the rank has dropped a lot, it has been transferred from the local to the central, and it is the history of serving the emperor in the palace, and it is closer to the emperor. The benefits are obvious.

After careful evaluation, the officials finally transferred this Chu Zong to the Chang'an Imperial History Terrace and became a servant of the Imperial History. He arrived in March, and his family arrived in Chang'an in early April.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yunwen and the others have not met that woman before.

In just a dozen days, only these materials can be found, but if enough time is given, the investigation will definitely be able to find out the woman's background.

Enough to know that, though. The rest is up to Zhang Yunwen to take the Liu brothers to visit this Chu Yushi and his wife.

Coming out of the investigation institute, Zhang Yunwen was excited, seeing that the sky was bluer, and everyone was more beautiful. Even the noise made by the neighing in the trees is not so harsh.

came to the house of the Liu brothers, but Zhang Yunwen was told that the Liu brothers were still working at the moment and had not yet returned. I can't help but pat my head, they are not as laid-back as themselves. I can't even think of this, it seems that I am really excited.

When he returned home, Zhang Yunwen impatiently announced the news.

When Li Yu and the other three heard the news, they couldn't help but be happy for Zhang Yunwen.

"Since the two uncles are not here, the concubine accompanied the Xianggong to the house of the Chu Yushi, I don't know what the Xianggong thinks?" Li Yu asked softly.

Zhang Yunwen nodded: "Of course you can!" But I still have to wait for the two brothers together. After all, they were the only ones who had seen my mother. ”

"In that case, why didn't the prime minister go to the prison guard to ask for leave for the two uncles! Otherwise, tomorrow they will have to defend the city wall again! Li Yu reminded.

Zhang Yunwen patted his head: "Look at me so happy, I even forgot about this!" ”

Then he went out again, and went to the prison guard to ask for leave for the two brothers. The Zhonglang general, who was in charge of personnel in charge of the prison guard, saw Zhang Yunwen come over to ask for leave, and immediately called the Liu brothers over, and said to Zhang Yunwen at the same time: "The general is polite!" If the general is in a hurry, why wait until tomorrow, you can take the two Liu Lang generals to leave now! This is fake, please rest assured that the general will not have any mistakes! ”

Zhang Yunwen was in a hurry, so he didn't be polite to him, and dragged the two brothers to leave the prison guard.

On the way, Zhang Yunwen told the two of them about it. The Liu brothers were immediately overjoyed: "Really found it?" That's great! If this person is really the sister of Aunt Zhang's family, then don't you have relatives third brother? ”

Zhang Yunwen said: "Aren't the two brothers also my relatives?" ”

With that, the three of them laughed at the same time. The laughter drew constant attention from passers-by.

Zhang Yunwen came and planned to go again tomorrow, but at this time, the Liu family brothers had already arrived, and it was still early, so he might as well visit the Chu family now.

After returning home and preparing gifts, Zhang Yunwen took Li Yu and the Liu brothers to the Chu family.

The address of the Chu Imperial Historian was attached to the back of that information, so the carriage went all the way and went straight here.

Because it is a newcomer to Chang'an, and Chu Zong is upright and has little money to spare, so the courtyard that Chu Yushi sells in Chang'an is not big, only one in front and one in the back. Rao is this small mansion, and it also spent most of the savings of Chu Zong and his wife.

When Zhang Yunwen saw this small mansion, his heart stirred like waves. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that if this woman was really his relative, then he would definitely buy them a new house, which must be much more luxurious than this.

Gently knocked on the somewhat dilapidated door, and it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who opened the door. Seeing Zhang Yunwen and the people behind him, he couldn't help but say in confusion: "You ......"

As soon as he saw this girl, Liu Wu gently pulled Zhang Yunwen's shirt and signaled to him that this girl was the girl who followed the woman at the beginning.

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly saluted: "Under Zhang Yunwen, may I ask if Mrs. Chu is at home?" ”

"Zhang Yunwen? Where have you heard this name, it's a little familiar! The maid muttered softly, and then said, "Madame is at home, but what do you have to do with Madame?" ”

Zhang Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have no other intention, just to visit Madame!" ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, stood on tiptoe and saw the bags of gifts by the carriage, bit her lower lip, and said softly: "Please wait a little while, the slave maid will ask the lady to see how she decides!" ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly said: "I'm tired!" ”

The dilapidated door closed again.

It didn't take long for the door to open again, and it was wide. Then, a woman in palace clothes, followed by the little maid, walked out with a smile.

That little girl can't remember Zhang Yunwen's name, Mrs. Chu must know. When I heard the name, I immediately came out to greet him.

The woman saluted Zhang Yunwen and everyone Yingying: "The concubine is Chu Chen, see Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Duke of Liao!" ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly stopped the woman, and at the same time turned his head to glance at the Liu family brothers, only to see that the two of them were full of remembrance, and it seemed that they couldn't be wrong.

After greeting at the door for a while, the Mrs. Chu politely invited a group of people into the house.

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness Princess, the visit of Lord Guogong to the Humble House really makes the Humble House shine! The humble house is shabby, and I hope everyone will not dislike it! Mrs. Chu said politely while leading everyone into the living room.

"Where, where! The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name; It is not in the depth, there is a dragon and a spirit. There is a Chu imperial history living here, and this house is shabby! Zhang Yunwen also said politely. After all, he still doesn't know that this Mrs. Chu is temperamental, and it is impossible to recognize her relatives as soon as she comes up, so she has to take her time.

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Mrs. Chu also showed a smile on her face.

After the guests of honor were seated, they began to greet each other again.

Finally, Mrs. Nachu couldn't help but ask: "Her Royal Highness the princess, Lord Guogong, there is something unknown about the concubine's body. Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, it seems that he has no contact with Her Royal Highness the princess and the princess, I don't know why everyone is ...... today."

As soon as Zhang Yunwen heard it, the main topic came.
