When he arrived at the door of Tang's house, Feng Haizhou rolled the saddle and dismounted, "My lord, I'm back."

"Haizhou has worked hard", Tang Cheng patted Feng Haizhou's shoulder, "What's the matter?" ”。

"Four came", Feng Haizhou said with a wry smile: "Originally, there were seven people who wished to come, but they were stopped by Lord Yu from the observation and said that they could only give these four at most, otherwise he would not be able to hold his hand." The observation made the adults also say......".

"Yu observed that he had already given the person you wanted, whether the other states could build roads, and whether the road network that the adults said that day could be built, but it was all on the road of Jinzhou, and if this road was successfully repaired, it would be an example for the other states. This matter is not only about the Golden State, but also about the overall situation of the whole province! The Observation makes the Lord say that he has high hopes for you".

When he repeated these words, Feng Haizhou's tired face flushed, that was an observer, the leader of the entire Shannan East Dao! Thinking of the scene where Yu Dongjun said these words to him and Yan Yuese that day, Feng Haizhou was still a little excited, and Tang Cheng could understand his excitement very well, this scene was probably similar to the situation when a small clerk in the prefecture-level city government suddenly met the secretary of the provincial party committee in the later generations, "However, Yu Observation also asked me to give a message to the adult!" He gave you what you wanted, and if this road could not be repaired, but according to what was written in the military order, only you asked; On the other hand, the Observation Envoy will personally celebrate your merits and ask for merit."

"Repair such a road for four people, and you have to say this, the observation makes the adults really stingy", there are no outsiders around, after listening to it, Tang Cheng joked, and after the joke, Zhengse said to Feng Haizhou: "Well, there is no need to say this again." Observation so that adults can set a road map of Fangzhou Road? And where are the four people now? ”。

"Lord Yu personally walked a trip, and the route has been set. The four of them were placed in the inn, and now they should be bathing and freshening up."

"It's good that it's set, and the route of Fangzhou is set. We can only do it here", Tang Cheng praised after hearing the news, "It's not good to live in the post house, presumably their grade will not be too high, don't you suffer when you go to the post house!" ”。

"My lord, my brother-in-law Zhu Xiaoer is in charge of the kitchen in the Honshu Post House. He takes care of ......".

"That's not good, they are all useful people, you have to take care of such people, so that they can be motivated to willingly use all their skills", Tang Cheng said in a deep voice: "In this way, Haizhou, you are running a post house, picking them up to Wanfu Building, eating, and living." The land is used according to the best, and when the time comes, I will go to meet the money."

Everything is the best, money is not money! muttered to himself. Feng Haizhou turned over and got on his horse after receiving the order.

After settling in the land over there. Tang Cheng beckoned to Zhang Xiangwen. "Let's go. Go to Wanfu Building".

On the way to Wanfu Lou on horseback. Zhang Xiangwen turned his head and looked at Tang Cheng carefully. smiled and said, "Big brother." I don't know you anymore."

"Huh?". Riding on a horse, Tang Cheng was wondering how Zhang Liang would also arrive in Jinzhou. Listening to Zhang Xiangwen suddenly pop out of this sentence. Surprised, he turned sideways. Smiled and asked, "What kind of demon moth do you have?" ”。

"I really can't imagine not going to Yangzhou. The little sister-in-law turned out to be such a big man. Shangguan Zhaorong's younger sister. Yangzhou City Envoy. I'm a mother! When Yangzhou first saw his sister-in-law. I really thought I sent you to the wrong place, big brother. After reading the letter, she called out to my second brother. I didn't dare to say yes. Shame on you! ”。 Zhang Xiangwen laughed self-deprecatingly when he said this. "I just came back and heard about it again. This time, it's an observation again. Eldest brother! When did you meet such big names? Are you still my big brother? ”。

With a tired face, Zhang Xiangwen no longer had the usual laughter and relaxation. When asked for the last sentence. There was a blank look on his face. There is a sense of amazement. And a little self-suffering.

Since I met Zhang Xiangwen. Tang Cheng saw that the ground was full of his heartless laughter. It's really a little unaccustomed to such a complicated expression in front of me. At the same time, he was also touched by a lot of regrets. Since the acquaintance of the fight. This second brother is really benevolent to him.

"Second brother, it's all my fault, I didn't tell you these things in time", Tang Cheng's self-blame from his heart was extremely sincere, "But to pat my conscience, I never wanted to hide anything from you." If I really want to hide it from you, I won't invite you to Yangzhou to deliver a letter, and I won't pull you in to build roads, think about it, isn't this reasonable? ”。

Although this is an explanation, it is also the truth, after Zhang Xiangwen listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression was much more cheerful.

"Let's go in the evening, let's come back from Wanfu Building later, let's have a pot of wine and talk", Tang Cheng smiled remembrance, "Speaking of coming from the state city, we haven't been together for a few days."

"If you want to sit, you have to wait until these days are over", although Tang Chengdi's words were short, but that kind of sincere affection was not difficult to feel, Zhang Xiangwen let out a long breath, "It's nothing to say or not, I just want to ask, are you still my eldest brother?" ”。

Looking at Zhang Xiangwen with a solemn face, Tang Cheng said solemnly: "Take care of each other with all sincerity, never abandon each other, share blessings and woes, honor and disgrace."

These words were the oaths of the two of them when they worshiped in Taoyuan on the outskirts of Yunxi that day.

"Good! These four sentences are enough, big brother, you don't have to say anything more", Zhang Xiangwen didn't care that this was on the street, and applauded loudly. attracted the sideways glances of passers-by, but he himself smiled like a person who had nothing to do: "Big brother, don't blame me for being careful, it's really that this little sister-in-law you found for me is too big, hey!" This time, I was embarrassed in Yangzhou City. Damn, it's embarrassing to think about it now! ”。

"Okay, I'm afraid you kid forgot the beginning", Tang Cheng really regarded Zhang Xiangwen as his own brother, and when he saw that he had returned to normal, he had nothing to scruple about talking, "I think when I was in Yunxi, you popped up an uncle with a background for a while, hey, another one popped up in two days, and three came one after another, I can pay you back this account."

"If there is a brother, there must be a brother", Zhang Xiangwen's scoundrel came up again, and when he heard Tang Cheng reveal the old bottom, he just grinned, "Two arrivals, you once and I once." Exactly two".

When they arrived at Wanfu Building, Du Lahe and the others were still taking a bath, and when they heard the accompanying people say that Tang Cheng had arrived, Zhang Liang reluctantly came out of the Lu Feng bucket.

Zhang Liang walked out of it with the silk silk around his waist, and after carefully examining Tang Cheng with a fixed step, he said with a smile: "Don't count a few months." Tang Cheng, you look more and more calm and steady, okay."

"Brother Zhang is also as beautiful as ever", Tang Cheng returned the salute with a smile, "I heard my second brother say that there are ...... who came with Mr. Zhang."

"He must still be soaking, forget it, don't talk to him today", Zhang Liang shook his head with a wry smile, "Shannan Dongdao is worthy of being named after the mountain." The road is too difficult to walk, too tiring to ride a horse, too bumpy to ride. In short, it's uncomfortable. Du Lahe is a lot older again, this time it is really hurtful, Tang Cheng, you take care of it."

When Tang Cheng heard this, he nodded with a smile, looking at the current appearance, it is estimated that the old capital is indeed tossed lightly.

"Now you're in charge of road construction in Golden State?" , Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to invite Tang Cheng to sit down, and he also lifted his robe and sat down, "This road should really be repaired."

Tang Cheng didn't talk to him anymore. Wen Yan nodded with a smile and asked directly: "Brother Zhang is a busy man, I don't know what to do here in Jinzhou?" ”。

Zhang Liang asked, looked at Zhang Xiangwen who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "I'm tired and stinky to death, so I won't talk about business today."

Zhang Xiangwen is also a person full of news, seeing this, he stood up and stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Seeing that Mr. Zhang is so comfortable, I am also itchy here, and I have to go loose and loose, you can chat." With a smile on his lips, he opened the door and walked out.

"He is my sworn brother, and he trusts the land."

"Well, Zhang Xiangwen is good", there were only two of them in the room at this time, after Zhang Liang said vaguely, he leaned towards Tang Cheng, "Tang Cheng, what is your relationship with Jinzhou's predecessor Sun Tingshi?" ”。

"Sun Yuanjun?" , Tang Cheng didn't expect Zhang Liang to suddenly ask about this. After a deep groan, he said, "Sun Yuanjun treats me well. When he went to Chunju to take up his post, he said that he would take me with him. By the way, Wu Yujun, who was in the tung oil business in Yangzhou with me last year, is his brother-in-law."

"Oh! It turned out to be like this, I saw that Wu Yujun a few times last year, but he didn't show it at all", Zhang Liang was very happy after hearing it, "Okay, Tang Cheng, you gave him such a big fortune, and it must be the right to ask him for a favor."

"What's the matter?".

"Although the Chunzhou he went to was biased, the boundary happened to be the old nest of the pirate Feng family", Zhang Liang sighed after saying this: "If you take people's money, you have to eliminate disasters with people."

When he said this, Tang Cheng immediately remembered last year's newspaper, which touched his business opportunities, and specifically mentioned the Feng family, which even mentioned that at that time, the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion folded the imperial court to impeach the Lingnan Provincial Military and Political Yamen, and a very important reason for the impeachment was that the Lingnan Provincial Observer and the marching ambassador Yamen connived at pirates, speaking of which, the Feng family in Lingnan Chunzhou is a pirate family, the most powerful pirate family in the South China Sea. Du Lahe and other Hu people and maritime merchants have really suffered from it.

"This is the condition of the old capital, right?" , Tang Cheng took a sip of the teacup, "Du Lahe used to rely on the waste prince, and he couldn't take care of the Feng family because the military and political yamen of Lingnan Dao listened to Wu Sansi that day, and now Wu Sansi's father and son are dead, this matter shouldn't be difficult, Brother Zhang, you came here so far away?" ”。

"The court has just undergone great changes, and it is not easy for the third prince to come forward now. Today's Lingnan Festival envoy is Xue Chongxun", Zhang Liang paused, and then continued: "This Xue Chongxun is the eldest son of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, and Xue Dong, who was almost killed in Yangzhou Zoroastrian Temple, is his nephew, and the backer that Yangzhou Tang people and maritime merchants are looking for now is the princess's mansion." For these Tang maritime merchants who eat the same bowl of rice as Dulahe, I am afraid that they wish that the Feng family would be as powerful as possible. ”

Saying this, Zhang Liang smiled helplessly, "In terms of identity, Xue Chongxun is more noble than the third prince." After all, he is still the eldest son, and there are the interests of the Tang people and maritime merchants in it, so the third prince came forward to say it, I am afraid that it will be...... Moreover, the Feng family has been in business for a hundred years, with great power and clear ears and eyes, if this matter comes from top to bottom, it is inevitable that the rumors will not be revealed, and it will be even more difficult once the grass is startled. On the contrary, it is better to do it directly from the bottom of the place, and it may be possible to achieve miraculous results by surprise."

After Tang Cheng listened, he thought about it for a long time, and then raised his head and said: "This matter is not small, although Sun Yuanjun is good to me, he may not be willing to ......."

"Think about it, is there any other way?" , Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this, "Before I came, I went to the Ministry of Officials to explore the foundation, Wu Yujundi's brother-in-law is the path of Shangguan Zhaorong, without Tang Cheng you, how can he take this line with a remote Daozhou assassin history?" Can it be so timely? ”。

"When I left last year, I told the envoy of Zheng Shi that all the affairs of the Prime Minister of Anguo's palace, especially the third prince, must be handled carefully. Brother Zhang didn't go to the Yamen of the City Bosi? ”。

"Since this matter is not good for the Prime Minister's Mansion, I didn't go", Zhang Liang nodded appreciatively at Tang Cheng's words, "Dulahe has been there, but the envoy of Zheng Shibo has not said anything, presumably she is also unwilling to interfere in Lingnan Road." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang smiled a little teasingly: "Tang Cheng, do you think that Du Lahe is really here to come to Jinzhou for the dock?" With his riches today, this dock is as valuable as you say, and it is not worth it for him to travel so far from heaven to earth, and Durach is here purely for you. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, it is justified that the Zheng City Envoy intervened in this matter, Anjing Hailu, how can it be considered that this is also the responsibility of the City Ship Division, who can say anything? ”。

Tang Cheng listened quietly, and after thinking about this matter before and after, he nodded and said: "Well, I will go back later and repair the book for the Zheng Shi envoy", at this point, Tang Cheng raised his head and looked at Chen Liang, and said in a deep voice: "However, if the Zheng Shi envoy really agrees, Brother Chen needs to understand that the reason why she did this is not for Du Lahe, but because this is the matter of the third prince."

"Don't worry", Chen Liang deliberately got up and patted Tang Cheng's shoulder, "The third prince will understand."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled, "Brother Chen's trip is just right, I may have to ask you for help here, but it is still unclear what kind of help Brother Chen should be asked for."

"With the current relationship between you and me, what else do you want to help!" , Zhang Liang's words were extremely crisp, "I just want to stay a few more days to see your means of building roads, and wait until you think about it before you tell me it's not too late."

After finishing the business, Tang Cheng didn't stay any longer, and after Chen Liang told Du Lahe to go to see the dock tomorrow morning, he said goodbye.
