Chapter 287: The Inn

Since Zhenguan broke the ** rebellion in the fourth year, Li Ji has been sitting in Taiyuan, serving as the governor of the prefecture, and overseeing the military of the entire prefecture, Hedong Province and even Monan. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Zhang Wenqian joined the army under Li Ji, and he was busy every day, and he mixed quite well. Ever since he sent his personal servant to Chang'an to send out that letter, a sense of absurdity has surged in his heart. The family is busy arranging family affairs for himself, but he is pushing the person who may become his wife into the arms of his friends.

Although he knew that Zhang Yunwen was already married and married to a princess, seeing that he and Wang Yan looked affectionate, Zhang Wenjun still sent out this letter. After all, he doesn't know if Zhang Yunwen and Wang Yan have really reached the point of talking about marriage. If the two of them have already been in love with each other and proposed marriage at home, but they haven't told Zhang Yunwen, isn't it just a life to break up the two?

He thought about how he would refuse this marriage if Zhang Yunwen didn't come to merge with the state? Although he was considering the situation that Zhang Yunwen would not come to merge the state, he had a faint feeling in his heart that Zhang Yunwen would definitely come to the state.

On the nineteenth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Zhenguan, a horse team of nearly 20 people slowly arrived in Bingzhou City.

This team of men and horses is Zhang Yunwen with his own soldiers, scouts and several directors of the investigation institute, when they arrived in Bingzhou City, it was already twilight, fortunately the city gate was not closed, and they entered the city in time, otherwise they would have to take it all night in the wind and snow.

In addition to Zhang Yunwen's six personal soldiers, Zhang Yunwen was afraid of insufficient manpower, so Zhang Yunwen also transferred ten scouts, such as Liu Cheng, Wu Peng and others. Finally, he was the director of the Investigation Institute, who was responsible for the operation of caravans across the country under Lin Ran. Years of dealing with businessmen made the principal look less like a capable official and more like a profiteer, especially with his squinted eyes and round belly when he laughed.

This chief called He Miao has a set of means of dealing with each other, less than two days after coming out of Chang'an, he and the scouts and several of his own soldiers called brothers and sisters, looking like that, he almost cut the red rooster and burned the yellow paper, and imitated that Liu Guanzhang.

He often patted his round belly and said to the strong and muscular crowd: "Alas, how good it would be if I could have such tendon meat as you!" Now, I'm going to be out of breath when I ride a horse! ”

There is another reason why I brought this He Miao. This He Miao was the head of the Hedong Provincial Investigation Institute, managing the intelligence of the entire Hedong region, and the base was set up in the city of Bingzhou at that time.

After everyone arrived in Bingzhou City, under the leadership of He Miao, they went directly to an inn opened by the investigation institute, and said vigorously: "With Lord Zhang here, those guys will definitely not dare to charge us more, and they will be able to save a lot of money when the time comes!" ”

Everyone was speechless.

This inn called "Shenglong Inn" is located next to the bustling avenue of Taiyuan City, and business is quite prosperous. When He Miao led people into the inn, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then greeted with a sneer: "Ouch, isn't this Big Boss He?" I haven't seen the rich state for a few years! ”

He Miao scolded with a smile and said to the little er: "What about your shopkeeper?" Why haven't you seen anyone else today? ”

Xiao Er smiled and said: "Boss He, wait, the villain will go and invite the shopkeeper to come over!" After saying that, he left.

After a while, a shopkeeper who was so fat that he had to fight with He Miao walked out, and when he saw Zhang Yunwen, his eyes immediately lit up, but he smiled at He Miao and said: "I heard that the second boy said that Boss He is coming, the villain still doesn't believe it, I can't imagine that Boss He is really here!" Hmm, these are ......" The fat shopkeeper's eyes soon fell on Zhang Yunwen and the others.

He Miao immediately pointed at Zhang Yunwen and said: "This Boss Zhang is in the leather business, and the rest of the people are his guards!" Today I also accompanied this Boss Zhang to Bingzhou! ”

The fat shopkeeper immediately exclaimed: "It turns out that the big boss is here!" Come on, this way, please! ”

Under the leadership of the fat shopkeeper, Zhang Yunwen and He Miao stepped on the stairs on the second floor. The Scout and Ma Wangshan occupied four tables in the hall and ate and drank.

After the fat shopkeeper took Zhang Yunwen and He Miao into a room, the fat shopkeeper immediately saluted and said, "My subordinates have seen Lord Dean and Lord He!" ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "No need to be polite! Come, sit down and talk! ”

The three of them sat down across several cases.

The fat shopkeeper asked cautiously: "My lord, this time you came to Merge the state in person, but what is the big deal?" ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded heavily: "Yes, at this time, it is related to the future life of this official, and it is related to the future national fortune of my Datang, and it is also for His Majesty to let me do it!" ”

"That's good!" The fat shopkeeper seemed to sweat, "The subordinates thought that the dean was here to rob the relatives this time!" ”

"What kind of robbery, who did you listen to?" Zhang Yunwen was shocked and asked at the moment.

"Well, these are words from the Wang family! When the Zhang family was about to propose to the Wang family, the Wang family spread this word, saying that you and Miss Wang Yan of the Wang family have long been concubines and secretly determined for life. The fat shopkeeper said cautiously, staring at Zhang Yunwen's face from time to time.

Zhang Yunwen's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at, and he didn't know who released this rumor, but in today's situation, such a rumor is quite unfavorable to himself. Although he secretly entered the city of Bingzhou, it is inevitable that he will fall into the eyes of some well-intentioned people.

Seeing Zhang Yunwen's face change abruptly, the fat shopkeeper couldn't help but say in disbelief: "Dean, you won't really come to rob your relatives, right?" ”

"Grab your head!" Zhang Yunwen said angrily, "Lao Tzu came to Bingzhou to deal with the Wang family, and by the way, he robbed his relatives!" Remember, the kiss grabbing is only incidental! ”

As soon as these words came out, He Miao and the fat shopkeeper were suddenly dumbfounded: "My lord, what did you say?" Dealing with the Wang family? Then the Wang family recruited you to provoke you? ”

Zhang Yunwen waved his hand: "Just listen to it, don't know too much!" Also, during the time I was in the state, all resources had to be tilted to this side! ”

The two were silent for a while. After a while, the fat shopkeeper boldly asked, "Lord Dean, if you want to deal with the Wang family, do you have Your Majesty's will?" The stakes are serious, and the subordinates have to inquire clearly! ”

Zhang Yunwen heard the fat shopkeeper ask this, but smiled with relief: "Yes, do things according to principles, do not blindly follow the words of superiors, and dare to question superiors, this is the official that my investigation institute and my Datang need!" He smiled lightly, "If there is no intention of His Majesty, how can this official dare to act?" His Majesty has been jealous of the family for a long time, and this suppression of the Wang family is just a beginning! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, the fat shopkeeper and He Miao were relieved.

"Uh, the matter of Miss Wang'......"

"Well, it will be an important part of dealing with the Wang family!"

After a little explanation to the fat shopkeeper and He Miao, he said to the two of them: "What you have to do now is to sort out all the information about the Wang family and hand it over to me." In addition, send people to investigate the recent situation of the Wang family day and night, especially the relationship between the east and north rooms and the west rooms! ”

"Whoa!" The two immediately took the order and left.

Zhang Yunwen walked out of the room and turned around, now it is quite good here, the transportation outside is convenient, and the environment inside is quiet. At the moment, I decided to stay in this inn during the days of the state.

When I came to the hall, I saw everyone eating and drinking, and the old high plates and plates had been piled up on the table, and there were three or four large wine jars scattered on the ground. The rest of the guests who were eating in the hall, seeing Ma Wangshan, Liu Cheng and others like this, had already hid far away, for fear that these strong-looking men would go crazy after drinking and harm the pond fish.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help patting his head, these guys really think that this is public money to eat and drink!

I found a secluded place and sat down, and I didn't look at the half-drunk soldiers, with an expression of "I don't know them".

When the wine and food came up, Zhang Yunwen was eating, but he was thinking about how to take advantage of the situation. First of all, Li Ji, as the governor of the governor, was in charge of the military of Hedong and Monan, and he was the first to visit, and at the same time Li Shimin meant. And Zhang Wenqian served under Li Ji's account, but he could see him together.

In addition to the two of them, there are also Wang Qu and Wang Yan who need to meet in secret. Zhang Yunwen's plan to split the Wang family is to split Wang Qu as an outer house and form a family of his own, thereby weakening the strength of the Wang family. Of course, it would be even better if you could bring the West Room.

Before I knew it, I ate all the dishes on the plate in front of me, laughed lightly, and stood up. Just about to walk in the direction of Ma Wangshan and the others, a junior second person came up and said, "Thirty-four copper coins, thank you for your patronage!" ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly laughed and patted the shoulder of the short-eyed Xiao Er: "Write it down first, and pay the bill together in a few days!" ”

The little second was about to say something, but the little second who had seen Zhang Yunwen and He Miao at the beginning suddenly pulled the little second aside and said something. Zhang Yunwen smiled, Zhang Yunwen smiled, and he didn't mind, but he walked to Ma Wangshan's side and said softly: "Brother Ma, you and Brother Song go out with me!" ”

Ma Wangshan nodded, kicked Song Waterfall lightly, and the two slowly left the table.

"My lord, where are we going?" Out of the inn, Song Waterfall asked with some confusion.

Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "After entering the temple of Bingzhou, of course you have to go to worship the Bodhisattva of Bingzhou!" ”

The two of them immediately nodded as if they didn't understand. Who can be called a bodhisattva of the state?

Zhang Yunwen has been to Taiyuan several times, and he has stayed for a while, and he also knows a little about the city of Taiyuan. took the two of them through the streets and alleys, the Lifang market, and came to the Governor's Mansion.

Although Li Ji's official position is a long history, the position of governor above this long history is empty. In other words, Li Jing, the long history, actually fulfilled the duties of the governor. According to the Tang system, the governor of the capital governor's mansion is one person, from the second grade, and the long history is one person, from the third grade.

Standing outside the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Yunwen asked Ma Wangshan to go and report, and advised: "Brother Ma, don't tell me my identity, just let those guards go to Zhang Wenjun, just say that the guests from Beijing have arrived, let him come out to pick us up!" ”

Ma Wangshan nodded, took off the horizontal knife at his waist and the bow and arrow behind his back and handed it to Song Waterfall, and walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion by himself.
