"Thank you, then I'm welcome, I'll have someone send you money in the afternoon!" In the face of the other party's enthusiasm and generosity, Li Xiu did not refuse, and thanked the other party at the moment, but when he said this, he paused and then said, "By the way, what is your name, so as not to find a place to pay back the money in the afternoon?" ”

"Guests don't have to be polite, my name is Wang Fan, my father is called the King of Tofu, as long as the guests inquire in the West Market, it is easy to find us here!" Wang Fan said very proudly, their old Wang's tofu is a must in Luoyang City, but anyone with a bit of status wants to eat tofu, almost all of them come to his house to buy it.

"I remember, Luoyang West City Tofu King, thank you very much!" Li Xiu also said very happily at this time, and then said goodbye to the other party and left, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but sigh, Yang Guang was such an arrogant person at the beginning, if he knew that his son even had to follow someone else's surname, I am afraid I don't know how he would feel?

After returning to the carriage, it turned out that Princess Pingyang and the sisters of the county lord of Guanghua were still wiping their tears, and when they saw him come in, the county lord of Guanghua asked eagerly: "Pony, what did you talk about with Fan'er?" ”

The county lord of Guanghua obviously still loves his son, worried about what Li Xiu and Yang Fan said, but Li Xiu explained with an indifferent smile: "The county lord doesn't have to be nervous, when I went to buy tofu, I didn't expect to forget to bring money with me, I wanted to use the jade pendant on my body to offset the account, but he refused to take advantage of me, what a good boy!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's praise, the county lord of Guanghua also blushed with joy, and at this time, Li Xiu also gently put the tofu in his hand in front of her, which also made her even more excited, and immediately stretched out her finger to pinch off a corner of the tofu, and carefully put it in her mouth, but tears also welled up again, people who have not been a mother, I am afraid it is difficult to understand her current feelings.

Seeing the appearance of the Guanghua County Lord crying silently, Li Xiu also felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he simply turned his head to look out the window, only to see that Wang Fan not far away was still busy in the tofu shop, but there was a faint smile on his simple little face, maybe he would have all kinds of troubles in life, but in contrast, if he was restored to his original identity, I am afraid it would not only be a matter of troubles, but if he was not good, he might fall on his head, but it would not be as simple and happy as now.

Finally waited until the county lord of Guanghua stopped his sorrow, and then looked at Yang Fan not far away from the window, and after a while, he reluctantly let the carriage leave here, but her mood was very low along the way, and after returning to the palace, Princess Pingyang personally accompanied her back to the room to rest.

After Li Xiu sent Princess Pingyang and the others back, he first went back to the room to get a few things, and then left the palace in a carriage again, but he didn't go too far, but went around a small half circle along the Luoyang Imperial City, and finally came to a fang market in the east of the imperial city.

After the carriage entered the market, Li Xiu specially told the coachman to slow down, and then he opened the window and looked at the shop outside, if he remembered correctly, it should be here.

"Stop!" At this moment, Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly commanded, and then the carriage stopped, and he immediately jumped out of the carriage and came to the door of a shop, only to see that this was a large briquette shop, that is, the honeycomb coal made by Li Xiu, after this thing appeared in Chang'an, it immediately began to spread to the entire Tang Dynasty, Ma Ye almost controlled the coal supply in the entire Guanzhong, and the briquette shop here in Luoyang was more or less related to him.

"Do you want to buy honeycomb coal?" As soon as Li Xiu approached, a clever young man immediately stepped forward and greeted, this briquette shop has a large area, there are more than a dozen guys in it, most of them are moving honeycomb coal to the car, ready to send it to the guests, it seems that the business is good, in fact, although the honeycomb coal has not appeared for a long time, the honeycomb coal market in a city has long been monopolized by some big briquette shops, and outsiders are very involved, so it is also quite profitable.

"Your shopkeeper's surname is Hong?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Exactly, the guest knows my shopkeeper?" When the guy heard Li Xiu say the surname of his shopkeeper, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"I can't talk about acquaintance, but if you tell your shopkeeper, you will say that the master of Chang'an asked someone to send him something." Li Xiu said with a smile, he helped Ma Ye a little favor before he came, but he didn't expect this small favor to help him a lot.

As soon as he heard that the other party was from Chang'an, the young man did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited Li Xiu to drink tea in the store, and then he quickly ran to the inner courtyard to report the news, but Li Xiu just tasted a sip of tea, and heard a rush of footsteps, followed by a middle-aged man with three long beards, who looked polite and polite, strode forward, and when he saw Li Xiu, he was stunned at first, and then he was very surprised to come forward and salute: "Meet the horse in Xia Hong'an!" ”

"Huh? How can Shopkeeper Hong recognize my identity at a glance? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw this, he was sure that he had definitely not seen each other before, and although some local officials knew about their coming to Chang'an, they didn't make a big deal about it, and ordinary people didn't know the news of his arrival at all, but they didn't expect the other party to tell his identity in one mouth, which is a little strange.

"Hehe, don't be surprised, although I retired from the division, I still have some connections, so I have long known the news of the arrival of the horse, plus you mentioned the horse again, and a young man like you with such an extraordinary temperament, I'm afraid there is no second person to think about except for the horse!" I saw this Hong An said with a smile, and finally patted Li Xiu's ass without a trace, which sounded really comfortable.

"Hahahaha~, Shopkeeper Hong really deserves to be Uncle Ma's most important subordinate, and he is convinced!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then asked people to bring in the things he brought.

"Shopkeeper Hong, this is what Uncle Ma asked me to bring, there is your favorite wine, and there are some specialties of Chang'an, all of which were personally selected by Uncle Ma!" Li Xiu introduced with a smile at this time.

Although the shopkeeper Hong in front of him seems to be a businessman, he used to be one of the several big leaders in the Fei Nu Division, and he was also Uncle Ma's most important deputy, but unfortunately Zhang Shigui later took over the Fei Nu Division, Hong An, as Ma Ye's henchman, was naturally cleaned up, he was from Luoyang, so Ma Ye helped him buy some land, such as this briquette shop, which is Hong An's most important business, after all, the monopoly business is stable and profitable, so he usually lives in the backyard of the coal shop.

Seeing these gifts in front of him, Hong An also showed an excited expression, when he took a jar of wine and slapped it open, tore off the seal and drank a few sips, then he showed a happy expression and laughed: "The winter snow in Chang'an Dongfu Building is really still the original taste, enjoyable!" It's so enjoyable! ”

After Hong An finished speaking, he took a few sips again, looking at his appearance, he turned out to be an old drunkard, could he be so in line with the appetite of the horse master, and after the alcohol addiction, Hong An thought that Li Xiu was still watching from the side, and hurriedly accompanied the sin at the moment: "Forgive the sins, the villain is a little Meng Lang!" ”

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Hong is polite, Uncle Ma waits for me like a nephew, so you don't have to treat me as an outsider, in fact, I came to find Shopkeeper Hong today, in addition to helping Uncle Ma send these gifts, there is one more thing I want to ask Shopkeeper Hong to help!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, he heard Hong An say just now that he still had some connections with Fei Nu Sizhong, which also made him even more sure in his heart.

"Please say that as long as you can do it, you will never refuse!" Hong An also knew the relationship between Li Xiu and Ma Ye, and he also knew that the horse in front of him had a deep friendship with His Majesty today, although he did not hold any real position, but his influence in the court was by no means comparable to that of ordinary ministers, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I need to meet the leader of the Feinu Division here in Luoyang, so I want to ask Shopkeeper Hong to introduce me!" Li Xiu smiled and said, the matter of the mother and son of the lord of Guanghua County will definitely not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Feinu Division, so he wants to meet the leader of the Feinu Division here in Luoyang first, and inquire about the situation before making plans.

"Luoyang's leader in the Feinu Division? What did the colt see him doing? Hong An frowned when he heard this, Feinu Si is the most secret force in the hands of the Tang Emperor, and very few people usually know about it, after all, what they do is somewhat unseemly, and the people of Feinu Si are strictly forbidden to associate with any court officials, if they are discovered, whether it is Feinu Si people or court officials, they will be severely punished.

"There is a small matter that I need to ask the other party for news, and I may also ask the other party for a small favor, but this matter is a little special, so I have to discuss it with the other party in person!" Li Xiu also smiled at this time and said, Fei Nu Si has always been active in the dark, there is no fixed place at all, and the people of Fei Nu Si are often hidden in all walks of life, such as Ma Ye in the past, others only know that he is the general of the Women's Army, but few people know that he is the big leader of Fei Nu Si.

"Since you want to see each other, then I will pass it on your behalf, speaking of which, after Zhang Shigui came to power, although he cleaned up us old people, the entire Feinu Division was originally established by Ma Ye, so the entire Feinu Division is our people, and now the leader of Luoyang is also my old subordinate, I will notify him to come here!" Hong An saw that Li Xiu refused to say, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and asked Li Xiu to wait at the moment, and he asked him to prepare a horse and go out in person.

After about a meal, Hong An finally came back, but there was no one behind him, but asked Li Xiu to wait for a while, so he waited for about a cup of tea, and then another person walked in, but when Li Xiu saw the other party's outfit, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
