In order to prevent the woman from guessing his identity, Li Wenyuan unceremoniously took the recipe and ordered some dishes, and then handed the recipe back to the night owl and told him to serve the food quickly, and the three of them in his group were already hungry. By the way, Li Wenyuan also asked the night owl to warm a pot of wine, and he walked outside for a long time in the middle of the night, not drinking some wine to drive away the cold in his body, but he was afraid that he would get sick sooner or later.

Soon after the night owl stepped down, the dishes ordered by Li Wenyuan were served one after another. After the table was served, the night owl who ordered the food brought up the wine that was just warm, and after placing it in front of Li Wenyuan, he beckoned all the people in the house to withdraw from the house, he stayed at the end, and when he went out, he closed the door with his backhand, leaving the space in the house to these three people.

Seeing that the people in the room had already withdrawn, Li Wenyuan made a move. He poured a glass of wine for himself and Qiu Niang, and then Qiu Niang took the wine jug in Li Wenyuan's hand and poured a glass of wine for the woman. After a glass of sake, Li Wenyuan took the lead in asking. "Okay, this little lady. We often come here for dinner, and the shopkeeper here is also an acquaintance of ours. The room he gave us was arguably the most remote of the shop, and very few people would pass by it. So little lady, if you have any grievances and what injustices have happened, you might as well tell me now. I'll try my best to get justice for you, little lady. ”

The little lady didn't speak in a hurry, she cautiously went to the door of the room to look, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping at the door, she turned to Li Wenyuan and Qiu Niang and said, "His Royal Highness the Tang King, Princess Niangniang, please forgive the two of you for the previous disrespectful sin of the people's daughter, and the people's daughter is also forced to do so." At that time, the folk girl had already been targeted, and if the identities of the two of you were revealed at that time, I couldn't tell what the dog officials would do to jump over the wall. So I have to keep pretending to be crazy and stupid until now, since you two say that this place is very safe, then the folk girl can tell the two adults with peace of mind. ”

So the woman told Li Wenyuan and Qiu Niang all about her life experience and the reason why she sat on the street and cried on the street:

This little lady's surname is Han, her name is Han Yingxue, and there is only one old father in the family, whose name is Han Gu. Han Gu was a civil official in Zhangye County during the reign of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he held the money issued by the government on weekdays. In the government, prepare an official document for the official master and write an announcement. Doing some trivial chores, although it is not a rich and noble family, but it can be said that it is a drought and flood to ensure income, at least not hungry, this is already an extremely good treatment.

According to what Han Gu himself usually said when he teased himself, he was ready to pass like this in his life. Although he has not won a reputation for ten years, at least he now has a half-official position, a fairly good income, and a talented daughter. That's enough for him, that's all the blessings, and no amount of extravagance is an endless amount of karma.

But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, just when Han Gu's enthusiasm has completely cooled down, and he is ready to end his life like this. Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Central Plains, and the rebel armies in various parts of the Central Plains have risen up one after another because they are hungry. In the past, the invincible officials and troops of the Great Sui who roamed the grasslands were scattered and fled by these peasants who had just come out of the fields with weapons held by their hands that put down their hoes. There is no way to fight back. The Sui army's suppression of the rebels was not good, but instead inspired more rebels to come. Anyway, if you pay the taxes, you will starve to death, so it is better to fight to the death and live one more day.

Later, Yang Guang was forced to flee from the city of Chang'an and fled to Jiangnan, where he had a relatively firm grip, but at the same time completely lost his actual control over the north. At this time, Li Liang stood out and used the fame accumulated by his family for generations to gather a group of bandits and Turkic cavalry to occupy the Western Regions and fight against the Yang Guang regime in the Central Plains by force. Later, Li Rail was destroyed by Li Wenyuan, and Li Rail's apprentices also surrendered to Li Wenyuan.

This time, he swallowed Xue Ju's land in one fell swoop, but Li Wenyuan, who was not very strong, almost didn't die. Li Wenyuan had no choice but to use a group of officials in the Yang Guang period of the Great Sui Dynasty, which could be regarded as stabilizing the newly conquered areas. Subsequently, the spread of various policies made the people more and more interested in Li Wenyuan, so Li Wenyuan forgot that nine out of ten officials in this Zhangye county were former ministers of the former dynasty, not graduates of the political work school he set up.

In the later years, because Zhangye County has always been very stable, the tasks assigned by Li Wenyuan can also be completed relatively quickly and well. This made Li Wenyuan very satisfied, so several successive personnel transfers unconsciously ignored Zhangye County.

Because when this group of former officials was activated, it was the time when Li Wenyuan's subordinates were most lacking in manpower. So almost all the officials were promoted up to the next level. It was at this time that Han Gu was promoted from an obscure supplement to a financial officer in Zhangye County, and together with several other financial officials, he managed all the wealth in Zhangye County.

Although they are all old officials of the previous dynasty, Han Gu is not as open-minded as several other financial officials, and he is in collusion with some of the gate lords in Zhangye County, making false accounts, embezzling and accepting bribes, and even selling official positions. But fortunately, these people are still low-key, and the people have not fully awakened to their own implementation of the government's supervision power, so these moths have been hiding in the county seat of Zhangye County, corroding the giant tree planted by Li Wenyuan.

Regarding the corruption of these people, Han Gu naturally knew everything clearly. But helplessly, these people are really doing things without leakage, so over the years, Han Gu has been trying to arrest their evidence, but he has never succeeded. It wasn't until a few days ago that the letters exchanged by these people were accidentally intercepted by Han Gu, so Han Gu had a letter in his hand that could be reluctantly used as evidence. In the past few days, Han Gu has been preparing a plan, he wants to take this letter to Dunhuang County in person, meet Li Wenyuan, and expose the ugly faces of these people in Zhangye County in person.

Scholars have their own scholars. After all, not everyone studies to get promoted and make a fortune, and in this era, there are still those who simply enter Confucianism because they worship the sages of ancient times.
