After coming out of the marshal's palace with a dozen entourage soldiers, Cen Shen rode in the direction of the inn where Wang Jin was, and stopped halfway through the horse, and he saw a familiar figure on the side of the street, a middle-aged scribe in his forties, wearing a coarse cloth single robe, and a little haggard, was sitting on the side of a roadside stall writing letters for others.

Seeing this scene, Cen Shen's eyes were hot, and he almost left tears, he slowly walked over from the dismount to the letter writing stall, the pedestrians on the street and the vendors on both sides of the street saw such a large group of soldiers stopped on the street, and saw the leading Cen Shen walking towards the letter writing stall, and they couldn't help but look over here.

Cen Shen walked to the side of the stall and saw that the middle-aged scribe was copying a book of "Book of Songs", the middle-aged scribe felt that there was someone in front of the stall, so he didn't look up, and continued to write while saying: "Write a letter for ten yuan!" ”

Cen Shen said: "So cheap? When did your Du Fu's words become so worthless? ”

Du Fu stopped the brush in his hand, looked up, his expression froze, put down the brush and slowly stood up, was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Brother Cen!" I didn't expect to meet here, it's really the end of the world where we don't meet! ”

Cen Shen looked left and right, and saw a wine shop not far away, so he said to Du Fu: "At this time, it is almost the time of dinner, the younger brother is the east, just in front of the wine shop, you and I have a few drinks!" ”

Du Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Little brother, this book should be copied in a hurry and sent to the employer・・・・・・

Cen Shen's face changed, "What, you Du Fu is so tall that you can't even look down on me Cen Shen?" ”

"Why did Brother Cen say that?"

"Why don't you go if I invite you to drink? If this is not looking down on me, then why? Cen Shen grabbed Du Fu's arm and left, "Let's go, follow me to the wine shop, and I'll talk about it when I'm full of food and drink!" ”

Du Fu struggled and shouted, "Oh, my manuscript! ”

Cen Shen pulled Du Fu and shouted to the soldiers standing on the street as he walked, angrily pointing to Du Fu's letter stall: "Put away the manuscript and smash the stall for me!" ”

Soon there was a sound of smashing things behind him.

Du Fu was so anxious that he almost cried: "Cen Shen, what are you doing?" What a consequence! ”

In the wine shop, steaming and fragrant dishes were placed on the table, and a pot of wine on the stove next to him was already warm, Cen Shen reached out and took the wine jug to fill the glass in front of Du Fu with wine, and poured himself another glass.

Picking up the wine glass, Cen Shen said: "Over the years, I have been rolling in the barracks with Zhao Dashuai, and I rarely drink alcohol due to military rules and regulations. If Brother Du is still a friend of me, I will drink this glass of wine, if Brother Du is still blaming me for letting people smash your booksstand, you turn around and leave, I won't stop you! After saying that, he drank it all.

Du Fu sighed, stretched out his hand and slowly picked up the wine cup, tilted his head and poured it into the wine, a glass of wine in his stomach, Du Fu's face quickly turned red.

In fact, Cen Shen's actions just now hurt Du Fu's self-esteem a lot, if Du Fu wanted money and wealth, he would not take the initiative to resign from his official position, and now he has fallen to the point of setting up a stall on the street to write letters on his behalf, since he has done this, he is not afraid of being looked down upon by others, but Cen Shen has made people smash the tools he relies on to survive and support his family.

However, Du Fu also knew that Cen Shen was not malicious, and thought that he should not be reduced to such a state, so he did not blame Cen Shen.

After a few glasses of wine, Du Fu's words began to increase, and Cen Shen asked: "Brother Du, I heard that you were an official in Chang'an when I was in Beiting, why are you here?" ”

Du Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Being an official? Hey, Cao Cao, the right guard of the government, joined the army, in charge of weapons and armor, and the key to the treasury, what kind of official is this? When the rebels entered the city, I wanted to escape from the city, but I didn't want to be caught, but fortunately, the rebels saw that I was a small official, and didn't care much about me, but I was beaten a few times and let me go, after the court recovered Chang'an, I still did this little official, but I couldn't get paid for a few months, and the whole family was waiting to be fed, so I had no choice but to resign and not do it, and go to the street to set up a stall to write letters and copy books for others, which can be regarded as barely making a living! It's not a secret, now that Zhao Dashuai is stationed in Huayin, he is fully responsible for the counterinsurgency of the Eastern Expedition, and many literati who are conceited and talented and think they have strategists have come to submit books hoping to be favored, Du is not there, and he also wants to try, but he doesn't want so many days to pass, and he has no news of his strategy! Hey, I've been in Huayin for so long, and the expenses are not small, so Du can only return to his old business, and return to Chang'an when he has saved enough."

Cen Shenyan put down his wine glass and asked, "Brother Du, do you still have the original manuscript here?" ”

Du Fu nodded and said, "Yes!" As he spoke, he took out a few pages of manuscripts from the pile of manuscripts that had just been sent by the soldiers and handed them to Cen Shen.

Cen Shen took the manuscript and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and after reading it, he frowned and said to Du Fu: "Many of the ideas in Brother Du's partial policy theory are quite novel, and they can be regarded as a rare good strategy for the times. Maybe it's because Da Shuai is busy with official business these days, but I'm afraid that he hasn't had time to read these strategies, after all, more than 100,000 people are eating, drinking, and Lazar all pointing to Da Shuai alone."

Du Fu didn't know what to say, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt very hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and buried himself in eating.

Cen Shen thought for a while and said: "Tonight I will take Wang Jin, the servant of the Criminal Department, to see the handsome, if Brother Du does not dislike it, he will also go with me, and I will introduce you for you!" ”

Du Fu was a little twisted; "This ・・・・・・ Zhao Dashuai didn't say that he wanted to see Du, Du just came to the door so rashly, is it appropriate?"

Cen saw Du Fu like this, and he was really anxious for him: "Oh, my brother Du, you can't put down a little shelf at this time?" Our marshal is also from a common people's background, and he will not look at you with arrogance like other officials! It's not that you don't have talent, it's just that you haven't met someone who can tolerate your temper and use you! Back then, I wasn't like you, with a stinky temper, I ran into walls everywhere as an official, and I was pleasing to everyone, until I worked under Zhao Dashuai, I was stable! You and I are actually about the same, since I can do things for officials under Zhao Dashuai, I believe you can too, your talent is ten times better than mine, Dashuai must be very happy to have your help! ”

Sometimes a person really depends on opportunities, opportunities are very important, there is no shortage of talented people in history, but in the end they achieve nothing and end up depressed, which can only be said to be time and fate.

Cen Shen said this, it is already a heart-wrenching, Du Fu twisted again, and then couldn't put down the shelf, then he really didn't know how to lift, he took the wine jug and filled it for the two of them, picked up the wine cup and said to Cen Shen: "Brother Cen's good intentions, Du is really beyond words, it's all in this glass of wine, please!" ”

Cen Shen was happy at this time: "Okay, that's right!" ”

After the two finished eating and drinking, the time was almost up, and Cen Shen beckoned the soldiers who had finished eating to set off, and went to the inn where Wang Jin settled with Du Fu.

At this time, Wang Jin was waiting for news at the inn, and immediately greeted Cen Shen when he saw Cen Shen arrive, Cen Shen introduced Du Fu to Wang Jin, Wang Jin had a request for Cen Shen at this time, and he did not dare to despise Du Fu who was wearing a coarse cloth robe, so he warmly invited the two to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks.

After chatting for a while, Cen Shen said: "I have already reported to the marshal about Brother Ling, and the marshal is very embarrassed when he hears about Brother Ling, so let me tell Brother Wang that he is waiting for Brother Wang to go to Shuai's mansion tonight!" ”

Wang Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Cen Shen again and again: "Thank you Brother Cen, little brother is grateful!" ”

Cen Shen waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about?" It's not too early, without further ado, let's hurry up and go to Shuai's Mansion, it's not good to let Dashuai wait for us! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Jin agreed, and immediately ordered someone to bring gifts.

Cen Shen looked at Wang Jin's order to bring a large number of gift boxes, and asked, "Brother Wang, what are you doing?" Da Shuai doesn't like this set! ”

"But when you come to the door for the first time, you can't be empty-handed, right? How rude is that? ”

Cen Shen suggested: "If Brother Wang must take something, it is best not to exceed the value of the usual money!" ”

"This ・・・・・・ that will do!"

The group soon came to the Shuai Mansion, and the captain on duty at the front gate of the Shuai Mansion had already been instructed by Zhao Ziliang to directly let Cen Shen and the others enter, and sent someone to report first.

Soon, Zhao Ziliang met Wang Jin and Du Fu in the inner hall of the Shuai Mansion, Zhao Ziliang knew Wang Jin, after all, Wang Jin was a waiter in the Criminal Department, and his official position was not small, and his grade was not low, but he didn't know Du Fu, and Cen Shen introduced Du Fu to him.

After Zhao Ziliang heard that it was Du Fu, he was very enthusiastic, invited a few people to sit down, and asked people to bring tea and snacks.

Zhao Ziliang dealt with Wang Jin's matter first and asked, "Wang Shilang, how is Brother Ling's situation in prison now?" ”

Wang Jin shook his head and sighed: "My brother knows that he may be executed again, and the person has collapsed, and his body has lost a lot of weight. The lower official came here to ask the marshal to come forward and say something, after all, my brother did not take the initiative to join the enemy, but was forced to be a thief out of desperation, and besides, he did not do anything to endanger the court and others! ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "It stands to reason that as a general in the army, it is not suitable for me to come forward to meddle in government affairs, but if Judge Wang is sentenced to death, it is indeed too unjust." In this way, Mr. Cen, you go and invite His Royal Highness King Rong, and say that I have something to discuss with him."

As soon as everyone heard Zhao Ziliang's words, they knew his intentions, he wanted Rongwang Li Wan to find Fengwang Li Heng to do this matter, although these two princes are not compatriots of the same mother, but the relationship is very good, and the feelings are deep, Li Wan should be able to solve this matter.

Cen Shen agreed: "No!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Jin again: "That's all I can do, as for whether King Feng will give me this face, it's hard to say!" ”

Wang Jin also knew that Zhao Ziliang was already very face-saving if he could do this, since he asked Cen Shen to come forward on his behalf, he might be rejected by King Feng, and when it came to Zhao Ziliang's identity, being dismissed for face was tantamount to a slap in the face, and he was not sure, ordinary people would not do this.
