The long wait eroded the hearts of many ministers in the palace. The original restlessness of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info gradually turned into restlessness, and the restlessness that was forcibly pressed turned into increasingly fierce arguments in the court. Something that could have been solved with just a few gentle words was delayed for a lot by the noisy noise of these courtiers.

The short but long wait finally ended with a heartfelt roll call outside the hall.

The Inner Guard, an imperial power that walks in the dark and light. There is no difference between the dress and Qianniuwei, and the only way to identify it is to identify it on the upper and lower lines. Obviously, this is very unlikely. Fortunately, the internal guards did not interfere too much in the lives of the courtiers, and most of the work was still just rumors. So this does not cause panic.

The man who entered the hall should be dressed according to Qianniuwei's clothes, and his rank should be in the fifth grade.

But the courtiers did not underestimate this person's identity because of this. Sure enough, this person stepped forward when he entered the hall, and after a bow, people were surprised by his identity: "Second-class guard Ling Yang pays a visit to Your Majesty." In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, we have brought all the account books from the Chengguo Mansion. In addition, I also inquired about several neighborhoods and East and West markets in the vicinity. ”

Obediently, the second-class guard is already a military attache from the third rank. This person is so low-key, he has never seen it before.

"In that case, you should first submit the accounts. By the way, tell you about the news from the East and West Markets and the halls in the neighborhoods. ”

Who isn't curious. Li Shimin almost had a monkey anxious expression on his face, and he was able to completely express his eagerness to see the account books. The chamberlain walked down and took a large stack of account books from Ling Yang's hand, and then handed them to Li Shimin. The latter couldn't wait to read it.

As for this Ling Yang, he bowed to Li Shimin, and his mouth seemed to be closed, telling what his subordinates had gathered up.

"According to our visits, from the beginning of His Majesty's succession to the present, the number of times that the Duke of Chengguo and the servants of the palace have gone to the East and West Markets is only a handful, and every time the things bought in the past, the ones with high value are only jade pendants and other things, and the low value is mostly for food, and the consumption over the years is no more than twenty yuan."

This is a magic number, which makes these high-ranking ministers a little embarrassed. It's been four years, and it's only been twenty years, which is almost two or three months of Luo Yan's fortune now.

Many people almost scolded Luo Yan for being stingy.

But what drove the courtiers crazy was just beginning.

Ling Yang's expression seemed to be quite playful and said: "Originally, I thought that this was just because Cheng Guogong was not often in Beijing, so he did such an act. But when I inquired about his life in Beijing, the expenses in the house really made me wait for nothing. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Luo Yan, and his expression was extremely complicated.

Lingyang's turn of events made many people's eyes full of anticipation. Continuing along this tone, doesn't it mean to say that Luo Yan's previous actions were just shows, and his real face is a person who lives a luxurious life and spends all his days drinking?

But this expectation was quickly shattered by Ling Yang's action.

I saw that he didn't care about being above the court, and bowed to Luo Yan who was beside him: "According to our inspection, Cheng Guogong's monthly consumption has basically not exceeded two times in the past few years. Occasionally, there are overspending, which is caused by visiting relatives and friends after returning to Beijing. Purchased in the back kitchen of Pingsu Fuzhong, fresh fish and less meat, mostly seasonal vegetables and tofu. Only in the past few months, all of a sudden, I have been buying a few catties of fish and meat every day, and I have never stopped. ”

It seems that the pressure on the hundred officials from Ling Yang's actions before was really too great, so much so that at the end he said that there was such a change, which made one of the officials lose his mind, and he actually whispered what was in his heart: "Startle me." I'll just say, arrogance and lasciviousness will always be gradual. ”

Fortunately, hundreds of officials were attracted by Ling Yang's words, and they didn't find out who said it. Otherwise, this one will be absolutely miserable.

Why has the Chengguo Mansion risen sharply in the past few months, but anyone whose brain is turning fast can be understood at this time.

Luo Yan found twenty helpers for Lu Deming. This matter is not a small anecdote in Chang'an. Spending a lot of money so far, the benchmarking effect is quite good. And the twenty learned people who were recruited stayed overnight in Luoyan's mansion.

This interconnection, you know what's going on.

The officials who wanted to understand suddenly turned pale. First, they felt that Luo Yan was like this, which made them a little ashamed and embarrassed. As for the other reason, since the internal guards were able to investigate Luo Yan in such detail, wouldn't they, who were more publicized in their daily lives, be investigated to the bottom.

It doesn't matter if you're scared, fear is real.

Just when they were frightened, Li Shimin also read the account book hastily, laughed and asked the chamberlain to send it below: "You wait and see, the front of the people is glamorous, and there must be difficulties behind the people." After reading this account book, if you still have any doubts about Luo Yan, it is not impossible for you to have the right to investigate it in detail. ”

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, those officials who wanted to embarrass Luo Yan immediately knew that this time it was completely planted.

However, there are still people who do not believe in evil.

What if it's a fake account? What if Luo Yan had prepared in advance?

In the mood of wanting to find something wrong in order to save face, some officials began to rub their hands, staring directly at the account books that came to them step by step, ignoring the faint admiration on the faces of the people after reading the account books.

Those who did not believe in evil turned out the account book with expectant eyes, and then carefully flipped through the pages one by one. Not to mention the firewood, rice, oil and salt of more than ten texts, pick the entry and exit of more than one or two times. This month, the servant's regular money, the next month, the servant's regular money, and the next month, it will still be the servant's regular money. Wait, there's a big discrepancy here, okay, Your Majesty will reward you with a hundred catties of gold. Hey, what's such a big expense? Made, how is the Golden State recruiting students.

There are other scholars from the land of Youyan who funded Sanguan, and classmates from Luzhou sent Shiguan. Miscellaneous, this degree of support makes those who originally wanted to pick thorns a little weak. In the end, as of this morning, there were still more than 570 yuan left in the Chengguo Mansion.

Perhaps, only a sentence of what a lie this is can express their hearts at this moment. But alas, they don't know this sentence yet. For a while, there were all kinds of burdens pressing on their hearts, which made them uneasy.

"I'm done. After reading it, tell me how you feel? Compared with thousands of dollars at every turn, Qinlou Chu Pavilion is extravagant and extravagant no less than a few times a night, and eats and drinks no less than twice a day, who gave you such confidence to question my son-in-law. Okay, go back and wait for one or two to think about it, why is the gap between people so big? ”

After watching the excitement, Li Shimin didn't mention how happy he was at the moment. Although he waved his sleeves away in annoyance, he was already happy in his heart.

Any turmoil is led from the court to the people.

The turmoil of the account books in Luo Yan's mansion was officially over with Li Shimin's wave of sleeves in the court. However, the discussion among the people has only just begun to sprout.

I don't know if it was the news that someone in the court released it intentionally or unintentionally, but everything that happened in the court that day flowed into the people without a penny. There is no mistake between the several important figures in Luo Yan's account book and the account of the inner guard Ling Yang.

For a time, the wind rose in Chang'an.

In a restaurant, in a private room. The curtain is covered, and from the front of the door, you can vaguely see a delicate banquet. But the characters inside, along with the voice of the speech, were covered by the sound of silk and bamboo.

Two young men with white faces and slight beards sat opposite each other.

"Cousin, your uncle is really in trouble this time. I don't know who Luo Yan is. That's quite a love-hate relationship. Fortunately, now he doesn't have the same hot temper as he did at the beginning, otherwise taking advantage of this incident, your family will have to worry for a while. ”

"It's not a matter of being scared, but there is always some impact on the business at home. Speaking of which, I really have to thank him, otherwise, where can my brother be so comfortable in this restaurant today. ”

"Also, don't say it's you, it's me who came because of it. However, if you and I take leave to return to Beijing, aren't we afraid of being disappointed? ”

"You're going to worry about that. I don't want to think about it, if Luo Yan was such a person, would you and I still be good friends with him at the beginning? You've heard about things these days, and he's not the kind of person who doesn't miss old loves. A few months ago, he sent a letter, I wonder if your dear friend has received it? ”

"That's nature. It's just that I'm afraid that now we are very different from his identity, this letter is one thing, and face to face is another. ”

The ones who spoke were Luo Yan's old friends Cui Ying and Lu Ling.

These two cousins are now both county magistrates. This time I returned to Beijing precisely because Lu Ling's uncle before, that is, Lu Langzhong, offended Luo Yan. The two families were afraid that they would offend Luo Yan too much, so they asked the two of them to come to woo the relationship.

The two of them were nervous, when they heard a familiar voice outside the door: "I said two brothers." When I arrived in Chang'an, I didn't go to the little brother's house to sit down, I had to choose this restaurant. is to come to this restaurant to talk about friendship, and it should be the younger brother to be the east. ”

While speaking, the sound of the door opening sounded, and it was not Luo Yan who pushed the door in, who else could there be?

Seeing that Luo Yan was still the same Luo Yan who was not arrogant at all, the two also laughed heartily: "You and I met in this wine shop, and now after many years, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to revisit the old place." ”

Looking at the two ushers, Luo Yan was in a trance, as if he remembered the time when he was struggling that day, but he was proud of his bookish spirit. When the two brothers said this, it made the younger brother quite embarrassed. Now that a few years have passed, I have also seen all kinds of things and people, but this friendship has endured. Hahaha, Luo Yan is definitely going to have a drink with the two brothers today. ”

In such a familiar relationship, the three of them sat down, and this nostalgic conversation box was officially opened. All the happy things of the year, one by one, came out of the mouths of the three people, and the laughter in the room suddenly overwhelmed the tactful and melodious silk bamboo. (To be continued.) )
