Zhou Qian and Jiao Jun learned the news in the teahouse, Zhou Qian stood up and said, "Sure enough, I scared the snake, Jiao Jun, we should go and walk." ”

Jiao Jun understood, immediately got up and paid for the tea, followed Zhou Qian downstairs, and walked all the way to the crossroads of people and the city, Zhou Qian walked along the north and south streets, walked through more than 20 shops to the north, and turned into a small alley that was impassable. Jiao Jun's heart suddenly became nervous, as a local snake, Jiao Jun knew very well that there were only three families in this 200-meter-deep alley, Xing Ruyan, a famous prostitute from the south of the Yangtze River, Li Wuji, the owner of the South Tibetan Monastery of Tiemen Temple, and Yu Song, a wealthy businessman.

Xing Ruyan is a beauty, but what makes her famous in Chang'an is not the apricot blossom spring rain of the Jiangnan woman, but the fact that she picks guests, doesn't pick up the eye-catching, doesn't pick up the wrong time, doesn't pick up the single guest, and so on; Maybe the men in Chang'an are cheap, because of this, they are like a market. When the two approached the door of Xing Ruyan's residence, they saw two people being taken into the courtyard, and then the courtyard door was closed.

Xing Ruyan is diagonally opposite, is Yu Song's mansion, Yu Song is the only son of Yu Hong, the former inspection school Sabao Mansion inspection school, doing business with the Western Regions. The Yu family was originally Sogdian, and later surrendered to the Northern Qi Dynasty with the remnants of Rouran, and Yu Hong's talent was brought into play, soaring through several countries, ten lords of diligence and sincerity, and long-term control of Sabao Mansion; Sabao Mansion was in charge of merchants who came to China, and Yu Song was the lord of the Sogdian settlement in Chang'an.

Zhou Qian did not stop, but continued to walk inside, until he came to an inconspicuous small door, Jiao Jun stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door quickly opened, and a little girl stretched out her head and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The little girl is not very old, she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although she is not yet fully developed, she already has the outline of a beauty; Jiao Jun asked politely, "Is Li Wuji and Master Li here?" ”

"Not there." The little girl replied simply, and was about to close the door, but Jiao Jun held the door with one hand, and Jiao Jun said coldly: "Tell the person in charge inside, Jiao Jun from Chang'an County is here, you must come out to meet." ”

It was probably the first time for the little girl to meet such a rude person, and her strength was not as great as Jiao Jun's, so she couldn't close the door at all, so she was a little panicked, bit her lip, and ran in to report it; After a while, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "I heard the magpie cry in the morning, it should have been on Jiao Zhutou, the little girl has never seen you, don't be surprised." ”

The person who came was tall, rich, bald, pot-bellied, and wearing a scholar's robe, who was Li Wuji, the master of the South Tibetan Monastery of Tiemen Temple. Jiao Jun smiled maliciously: "How can I worry about the little girl, I have thought about it, I want to publicize the fact that there are women in your Southern Tibetan Academy, so that all the temples and Tibetan courtyards in the world can learn how to get rid of the old and bring forth the new." ”

Study, this matter has to be spread, and Master Fojia, the presiding officer of Tiemen Temple, may be able to knock Li Wuji's head as a wooden fish; As for the Caotang Temple, it will definitely pull Li Wuji to parade the streets, so that all the monks can see what happened to the flower monk. Jiao Jun suddenly understood, why did Zhou Qian come over to take a look, the Southern Tibetan Academy was in charge of the quality warehouse of Tiemen Temple, and dealt with businessmen and nobles all day long, Li Wuji's virtue could not hide from Master Fojia and Caotang Temple, but Li Wuji has lived a good life until now, there must be something wrong here.

Li Wuji is a person who recruits Ziliang, although Zhou Qian is an old man, but that kind of calm bearing, the well-cut satin clothes on his body, and Jiao Jun's attitude of speaking, all show that Zhou Qian is the main man today. Li Wuji hurriedly let the two of them in, led them through the house they entered, entered a small temple through the back door, sat down in a meditation room and said: "The front is a place to talk about business with people. ”

Jiao Jun didn't know the purpose of Zhou Qian's coming at all, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, just laughed; Zhou Qian looked at Li Wuji and asked, "Do you have any business dealings with the Lianghe Persian Mansion?" ”

Li Wuji has already determined that Zhou Qian is an official, but more is better than less, Jiao Jun does not introduce, and Li Wuji does not ask; Li Wuji replied: "The Lianghe Persian Mansion also does loan trading, and has a good reputation in Chang'an, they don't believe in Buddhism, and when they are short of money, they are all in tune with the Persians, they are people of the same nationality, and they are better to speak." ”

Xiao Shami sent in three cups of tea and handed them to the three of them, Zhou Qian took it and tasted it and said, "This is the Cui family's tea with five dollars and a pound, and the owner of the courtyard is polite." Does the owner know what some businessmen in Chang'an have been brewing recently? ”

Li Wuji's hand trembled slightly and said: "The rich people in Chang'an are none other than the nobles of the family, and the businessmen have no action, just scratching their boots, which is useless." The little monk is only in charge of the Southern Tibetan Monastery and does not do other business with the outside world, so he is lonely and unheard, and I am afraid that he will not be able to help much. ”

Zhou Qian drank tea and said with satisfaction: "Enough, enough." Master Li, I have a friend named Yang Chong, and his business is doing well, so he introduced you two to each other that day, and he is now borrowing money from Lou Guan, which is very troublesome. Li Wuji's hand didn't move this time, but Jiao Jun could clearly see the stiff and unnatural muscle reaction on Li Wuji's arm.

After leaving the Southern Tibetan Courtyard, without waiting for Zhou Qian's instructions, Jiao Jun immediately summoned the spies who secretly followed him, and let him stare all the doors to death, especially the guests who came to the door and Li Wuji's whereabouts; Zhou Qian waited for Jiao Jun to finish arranging, and said with appreciation: "Li Wuji introduced Taigis to know the monks in charge of other temples in charge of the quality bank, and the Caotang Temple entrusted me to take a look. Li Wuji is the clan of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, in the second year of the great cause, Li Yuan for the second son Li Shimin eye disease, to the Caotang Temple to ask for the blessing of the Buddha, built a stone Buddha into the temple to support, Li Wuji was therefore recommended by the Caotang Temple as the head of the South Tibetan Temple. ”

Caotang Temple was originally the site of Xiaoyao Garden of Qin Gaozu Emperor Yao Xing after the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because the high monk of the Western Regions translated the scriptures here, the high monks from all over the country gathered in the Xiaoyao Garden, Yao Xing set up a temple in the garden, the temple temporarily built a hall, the right to cover the top with grass, it was called Caotang Temple. As for the great temple given by Yao Xing, it only appears in official documents; At the end of the Wei Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the Great Temple was divided into four parts, and the Caotang Temple was divided separately and became the national Buddhist scripture translation field, and had the power to manage other temples in Chang'an.

Li Yuan sent a stone Buddha, and Li Wuji got his current position, who believes it, Li Yuan and Caotang Temple must have a deal. Thinking of the rumor that Li Yuan usurped the country a few days ago, Jiao Jun understood it. No wonder the news of Hu Shang is flying all over the sky this time, it turned out to be provided by Caotang Temple, and if you don't know it, you will say it to everyone; Now that Wang Kai has appeared, Zhou Qian alarmed Li Wuji, just to force Li Wuji to contact others and continue to expand the results.
