Chapter 1 Trouble

In the blink of an eye, it has been the twenty-sixth year of Wanlie, and in the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the people have all celebrated, and the taxes in various places have been much more timely. The border pass was also safe and sound, and Wang Feng Wufang, who was guarding the northwest camp, even complained about boredom in a private letter to Feng Wuxi. In the singing and dancing of the prosperous era, there is also a trace of shadow, although the two largest forces in the court can still maintain a little system on the surface, the struggle behind the scenes has not subsided for a moment.

The funeral of the queen three years ago can be described as extremely glorious, and the emperor finally remembered the end of the grace, so he did not make much trouble in the name. The etiquette system was complete, and there was no intention of cutting it at all, which surprised the hearts of the ministers. Those who really know know that the emperor's intention is to appease the people and the country, after all, the empress has passed away, and there is no point in pursuing her mistakes during her lifetime.

However, in the funeral also benefited from He Furong, only four months after the death of the queen, the emperor ordered an edict to pardon He Furong and his family, and still returned his position as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. The protΓ©gΓ©, who was originally depressed because He Furong was deposed, was gradually reinstated or reactivated. Finally, after He Xueming entered the palace, the He family re-established themselves in the court.

Thanks to the blessing of the family, coupled with He Xueming's cautious and gentle attitude, her life in the palace has gradually become more comfortable, and the emperor's monthly luck alone is second only to Yu Guifei Xiao's, which makes other concubines envious. This concubine deliberately made friends with many concubines, and after a period of time, in addition to the Degui Concubine Lan, she won the praise of many concubines in the palace, and the Xiao family treated her very well, without the slightest severance. It must be known that after the death of the queen, the emperor immediately ordered that Concubine Yu should take charge of the six palaces, although it was not officially registered, but in the eyes of everyone, the Xiao family's right to the middle palace is undoubtedly just around the corner.

After weighing it repeatedly, the emperor finally transferred Zhan Pohan out of the capital, and it was not the best way to let people with too many thorns in his heart stay by his side, and the general soldiers of the Lingling Battalion were already much superior to a small commander in the northwest. At that time, once the term of office expires, it will be extremely easy to be promoted. Moreover, in order to appease this fierce general, the emperor also made an exception to allow Zhan Pohan to select 500 personal soldiers from the breaking battalion to be transferred together, and even granted his request to appoint the next commander on his own. For the generals, this can be regarded as a great opportunity, if it were not for the fact that there are fewer and fewer good fighters among the military generals in the border passes, the emperor will never agree to this condition so easily. However, many courtiers speculated that Anjun Wang Feng Wufang was behind the incident.

The new general Feng Wufang easily took control of the situation in the northwest military camp, much disappointing the royal family who had planned to watch the joke. In the eyes of these people, the northwest military camp is full of arrogant soldiers, and it is obvious that Feng Wufang has to endure a lot of hardships to control these people. Who expected that Feng Wufang would get the support of the breaking battalion as soon as he arrived in the northwest, and it was effortless to suppress it, and those generals in the northwest were already people who were frightened by Zhan Pohan, how could they dare to be rude to the new general, so although Feng Wufang said that he could not do it, he could still do it by ordering and prohibiting it.

Shui Yu Shengyan has now become a famous restaurant in the capital, although the ground floor is still a teahouse, but the attraction is the food upstairs. Wei Wenlong spared no expense to invite several skilled chefs, and even set up a few singers to play and sing in the lobby. Restaurants and restaurants elsewhere also have singing women coming and going from time to time, but most of them have been in the dust for a long time, and they are vulgar and vulgar, which naturally does not attract the interest of guests. And Wei Wenlong ingeniously asked a few people to cover their faces with light veils, and externally claimed that these women were all good women from good families, which attracted many people for a while. Although there are a lot of light sons who come and go, no one dares to break the rules at will because of the face of the Lord He behind Wei Wenlong.

On this day, the upstairs was full of friends, and most of the guests were well-dressed, and at worst, they were dressed as scholars, and ordinary peddlers and pawns did not dare to come to such a place at all. Rao is like this, it is even more difficult to find a good seat, many tables are sitting two groups of unrelated people, although there are many people, but it is not noisy. On the private seat by the window, a lonely figure sat there pouring drunk, although he knew that there were three empty seats there, but whether it was the shopkeeper or the man, everyone walked around, and even the guests who went upstairs tried their best to hide away, and no one could stand the cold.

That benevolent brother was none other than the Underworld. Despite his heavy duty as a guard, there were always a few days a month when he was resting, and Feng Wuxian drove the henchman out to relax. Who would have thought that he had always been a cold person, who was impatient to hang out with irrelevant people, so he fell in love with Shui Yu's wine and food, and the shopkeeper and the boss were acquaintances, so there was nothing more trouble. I have come here more times a month, and whether it is a regular visitor here or a junior who runs the hall, I am familiar with this man who likes to drink alcohol. If it weren't for his unapproachable aura, there would be no shortage of people who came forward to talk.

He shook the flask casually, his brow furrowed. Now that he is drinking more and more, this small pot of wine really can't stand up to any toss. If he hadn't been too lazy to cause trouble, he would have asked the shopkeeper to send him to the wine jar. People say that a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, but he is the master of a thousand cups of not drunk, and can only be trapped in the sorrow of the world forever. He reached out and flipped the lid over, and in a few moments a young man with a smile on his face appeared in front of him, but the smile was a little reluctant in any way.

"Master, it's still the old rule, a pot of Bijiang cold?" He asked boldly.

Shen Jue nodded wordlessly, the young man hurriedly took the wine jug and slipped away, standing next to this man without reducing his life, I really don't know how the prince would value him, the young man thought angrily. Carefully taking a flask from the shopkeeper, he looked at it again with jealousy, this kind of wine was as bad as water, it was really a tyrannical thing, I really don't know how much money this man has. Thinking wildly, his steps were inevitably a little unsteady, and when he passed by a table, he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground violently, and a pot of fine wine suddenly splashed in all directions, and several tables of guests next to him were stained with wine.

Trouble! As soon as the young man turned this thought in his mind, one foot stomped on him fiercely, and the menacing appearance of the man immediately made him cry bitter in his heart. "Little bunny, don't you have eyes? Can you wrestle on this kind of flat ground? Will you pay for the staining of our garments? ”

It was a high-spirited boy who spoke, and his clothes were extremely luxurious, but he was stained with a large piece of wine, and even his face was stained with several drops of wine, which looked quite ridiculous. The young man laughed, and struggled a few times, but the young man obviously didn't want to let him go, and he had two more points of strength under his feet, so much pain that the young man almost cried out.

"Childe, Xiao Yang was careless just now, your clothes shop must pay for it, please raise your noble hand and spare him." Li Qiao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Although he is now also in charge of the tea shop business below, the highlight is placed upstairs, after all, Wei Wenlong and Feng Wuxian have taken care of it, so he is in good spirits. Although Xiao Yang was in trouble, he was a guy here, so even if he didn't know the origin of the arrogant son, he still stood up for the round.

"What are you?" The young man looked like he was coming to the capital for the first time, so he was unceremonious in his words, "The master's clothes are woven by Jiangning, can you afford to pay for it?" Even if you demolish your dilapidated restaurant, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for the master's robe! ”

This was overdone, and the guests who had been in an uproar suddenly fell silent, and even a few of the people who had been killed by the pond fish returned to their seats, seemingly unconcerned, and continued to drink. The insider even secretly laughed at the young man's ignorance of the sky, and with his little power, he wanted to shout at He Weitao? Only he glanced at the man thoughtfully, and then drank the wine to himself, and the empty flask on the table was magically full again, but the attention of others was not on him, and he did not notice this little movement.

The young man did not feel the sarcastic gaze around him, but became even more triumphant, but several of his companions sensed that something was wrong, and glared at him desperately. But this person is always a conceited master, and he is used to running rampant in his hometown, how can he pay attention to this? "The master put a sentence here, if you want to let him go, you can, as long as you take a thousand taels of silver to compensate for this robe!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiao, who could still restrain his emotions, also became angry, he had seen a lot of nobles, but he had never seen anyone as unreasonable as the young man in front of him, not to mention that this was Wei Wenlong's industry. I saw that his face was gloomy, and he coldly threw out a sentence: "Your Excellency loves what to do, anyway, Xiao Yang is a guy in the restaurant, if he bumps into Xiao Lao'er and can't explain to the owner, he will never give up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a clear and powerful voice came from downstairs, "Shopkeeper Li said well, my Wei Wenlong's territory, whoever dares to make trouble has to weigh his own catties, don't end up in Shuntian Mansion and don't know the reason!" Everyone hurriedly turned their eyes to the staircase, only to see a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walking upstairs with extraordinary dignity, smiling and smiling slightly to everyone.

"Boss Wei is very right, although this little brother is at fault, but that person is obviously borrowing wine to make trouble, it is better to ask Lord Yin Yang of Shuntian Mansion to deal with it!" A guest stammered with a smile on his face, "How can this 'water jade smoke' signboard be blasphemous by ordinary people, do you always say that this is the reason?" ”

Wei Wenlong hummed noncommittally, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the figure by the window, and his brows couldn't help frowning. He is also very familiar with the underworld, but the most useful guard in front of His Royal Highness has repeatedly visited his restaurant, and he has not explained anything else except drinking, what kind of name is this? He was almost confused and didn't get a satisfactory result, just when he was thinking nonsense, he only heard an angry roar: "Master, I smashed your broken building!" ”
