Chapter 444: Speak your mind

And so it was settled. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info King Jiangxia and Gao Jun were a little reluctant, the two broke up from Liaodong and met again in Ezhou, both times came and went in a hurry.

Gao Jun helped the Tang army in the Liao expedition for the first time, and this trip to Yazhou was helping himself, and it was destined to not be a trip to the United States. He took Gao Jun's hand and said, "Virtuous nephew, we met several times in a hurry, but this king has already decided that you are a friend who can be entrusted with big things!" If you go to Yazhou, no matter whether it is successful or not, this king will not treat you badly. ”

Liu Yuru and Fan Ying were also riding on horses, about to embark on a new journey, and the expressions on their faces were both excited and a little worried. At the west gate of Ezhou City, the doorman saw that these three young people were personally sent out by the prince of Jiangxia, and heard the prince call him "don't drive", he couldn't help but be surprised, I don't know what the origin of this young man in his twenties is, so that the prince is so polite.

Gao Jun inquired with the gate official about the records of the business trips from Ezhou to Yazhou after the execution of the two rubber merchants by the king of Jiangxia. The doorman didn't dare to slack off, but fortunately, the time interval was not long, and he quickly found out and reported it. He said that after a day and a night's work, there were only two people who rode fast horses to Yazhou.

"What are the two of you?"

"Back to Don't drive adults, both of them are in civilian clothes, and one is thirty years old, and he is a county prince in Lushan County; A twenty-six-year-old is a recorder of the Nishikawa Academy. When the magistrate saw that they had left the city before the end of the day, he asked them why they had gone in such a hurry. ”

Gao Jun looked at their names and asked, "What do they say?" ”

"I didn't say anything, and the young man reprimanded the subordinate a few words."

Gao Jun didn't know what the origin of this Xichuan Courtyard was, so he asked King Jiangxia. King Jiangxia said, "Lushan County is a medium-sized county under the jurisdiction of Yazhou, so this county should be from the eighth grade. In addition, all salt-producing areas in Datang have a salt patrol organization set up, which is used to supervise the salt inspection of one or several states. As far as this king knows, there are more than 400 salt wells in Jiannan Province, which are under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan Temple and Xichuan Temple in Jiannan Province. And the records of the Salt Inspection Institute should not be included in the grade. ”

After hearing this, Gao Jun hugged his fist at King Jiangxia and said, "Lord Wang, please go back, Gao Jun chased them!" After that, he led Liu Yuru and Fan Ying to whip up and gallop away. Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, stood at the gate of the city and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with Gao Jun going to Yazhou, he could probably put his heart in his stomach.

The three horses left Ezhou and galloped west along the river. Fan Ying knew that Gao Jun was going to chase after the two Yazhou people, so she asked on the way, "Senior brother, could it be that these two people have something to do with the shipbuilding of the prince?" ”

Liu Yuru replied, "Since Jun wants to chase, in my opinion, it must be related." The two rubber merchants that the prince just disposed of were from Yazhou. They were in such a hurry to go back, and eighty percent of them went to report to Li Daojue. ”

Gao Jun agreed with Liu Yuru's statement, "Catching up with them, it is best to be able to trap them, even if you can't ask anything, you have to drag him on the road for a month, and the two-month period that the prince handed over to me is half completed." ”

"I don't know if you have a good idea."

Gao Jun smiled, "Didn't I just say it, we can drag it out, and we'll go home after two months." What should I do with the affairs between the emperor's clan?! I'll give him a 'drag' formula. When the time comes, you two sisters will have to help me a little. ”

It is less than five hundred miles from Ezhou to Yuezhou, and it would not be a problem if Gao Jun and Fan Ying chased these two people. But with Liu Yuru following, Gao Jun knew that she was working hard, so he pressed some speed and didn't run fast. It wasn't until they were under the city of Yuezhou that they saw these two people on the official road in front of them, and their ages and demeanors were similar to those described by the Ezhou gate officials.

But their identities could not be confirmed, Gao Jun glanced at Liu Yuru and Fan Ying, and the three of them rode horses and quietly followed.

The city is already in the twilight, and the streets and alleys are full of vendors selling Dongting fish and shrimp, who come from the lake to bring the freshest seafood to the city at dinner time.

Liu Yuru and Fan Ying saw a crab seller on the street at a glance, the lake crabs in the basket were only fresh, bullying and bumping, although the size was not bigger than the sugar crab, but the hard gang and weighed it was not slightly lighter than a pebble, Liu Yuru said, "Let's buy him a basket." ”

Gao Jun was not short of silver, and he was afraid that he would lose the two people in Yazhou, so he didn't ask the price and carried the crab in a basket. Look at the two people who went into a restaurant on the street to eat. Gao Jun and the others followed in and sat at a table not far from the two of them.

After Gao Jun saw them sit down, the food and wine were all ordered and poured by the person in his thirties Zhang Luo, and even when the young man sat down, the stool was pulled out for him by the older person. The one in his twenties was motionless, and although his face was polite, he still couldn't hide his arrogance.

Gao Jun couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. Xin said that Lushan County Cheng is an official who has entered the product, why do you have to wait for this kid who is lower than him in terms of age and grade, aren't these two people?

Gao Jun's ear power is good, and he only listens to the older man to the other, "Lord Li, according to the lower officials, the matter in Ezhou is not trivial, should we go to Yazhou overnight tonight, so that Lord Thorn Shi knows about it earlier?" ”

The young man said, "Lord Wang's words are wrong!" Who else can know about the trip between you and me to Ezhou, except for Lord Shi? There is a way to sharpen a knife and not chop firewood, why don't you even understand this truth, Lord Wang? It's hard to walk at night, and if we fall or encounter robbers or something, it's not enough to hurry! ”

The man surnamed Wang said yes again and again, and concentrated on eating and drinking with him. When Gao Jun heard the two call each other's surnames, he judged that they would never be wrong. Therefore, he and Liu Yuru and Fan Ying simply asked for some food, and they didn't ask for wine, so they got up and stared at the two at any time.

These two people left Ezhou, thinking that no one knew anything in Yuezhou City, so they didn't even suppress their voices when they spoke, and they were listened to word by word by Gao Jun.

Wang Xiancheng asked, "Lord Li, it seems that there will be no delay in the construction period of Ezhou shipbuilding, and Xia Guan never imagined that King Jiangxia would come up with such a method of transporting timber without relying on ships, and this one will save a lot!" ”

The man surnamed Li took a sip of wine and said, "It seems that Lord Thorn Shi still doesn't rub sand in his eyes, it was originally a lucrative business in Jiannan Dao, but it was cheaper than Jiangnan Dao!" But there is nothing, with the ability to stab Lord Shi, he only needs one sentence to Chang'an, and King Jiangxia is not easy to do! Eighty percent will obediently let something benefit us. ”

Wang Xiancheng said, "That's natural, Xia Guan has never seen anything that Lord Assassin Shi wants to do but is not satisfied." Let's just say that Lord Li, you, Lord Li's ability is deeply appreciated by Lord Thorn Shi, and at such a young age, he has become the de facto head of Xichuan Academy, and Xia Guan has always thought that Lord Li's future is definitely more than this! ”

The surnamed Li pursed his lips, but his words were very respectful, "Lord Wang, you can see it, I have been honored by the etiquette of 'Lord Assassin Shi' in front of and behind me, but who doesn't know that it is my brother-in-law!" Whoever doesn't know this, he shouldn't mix in the officialdom! ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Li, you really admire the lower officials for doing this, Lord Li, you never make a fool of yourself and Lord Thorn Shi, it's all based on your true skills. But this is really rare among Master Li's peers! Xia Guan sincerely wants to toast Master Li! The two clinked glasses and drank together.

Fan Ying listened to the conversation between the two, and muttered to Liu Yuru with great disdain, "It turns out that officialdom is like this, why didn't you know it before!" He said to Gao Jun again, "Senior brother, you are also doing this on the scene?" ”

Gao Jun said helplessly, "There are shallow people everywhere, we just need to know it in our hearts." ”

The three of them were not preoccupied with eating, and listened to the chatter of the two. And these two people didn't know it, they talked freely there, and unconsciously cleaned up their own details.

It turned out that this surnamed Li was called Li Shen. At the beginning, he was just a small catcher in the Yali of Lushan County, without a father or mother, and only lived with a younger sister. The two brothers have no power and no power, and they have always been people with their tails between them.

Once, Li Daojue, the assassin of Yazhou, went to Lushan County to inspect government affairs, and got off the horse outside the gate of the county government, just in time for Li Shen's sister to come to her brother. This woman to be married is like a freshly blooming flower bone, and the fresh smell between her gestures was caught by Li Daojue at a glance.

And the ability of Li Shen, who Wang Xiancheng flattered so much, is probably all in his sister's body.

On an occasion like the hotel, no matter how open the two of them are, that's all Gao Jun can understand. Hearing them eat halfway, Wang Xiancheng asked, "Lord Li, are we going to go to the Yuezhou Inn to stay overnight?" ”

"Of course, with our status, other inns in Yuezhou are not suitable. But we don't have to worry, who of them would dare to miss our guest room? ”

Gao Jun listened, and glanced at Liu Yuru and Fan Ying, and the three of them settled the account and came out quietly. Gao Jun said, "Yuezhou Inn." (To be continued.) )
