Inadvertently became a thorn in the side

There is a deliberate setting and so on

Shi Miyuan was very disappointed, but helpless. Maybe it's because the time has not come, let's take a step and see one step at a time. Han Yanxuan talked about credit, and within three months, he really made him a waiter in the Criminal Department.

Mingzhou signed the judgment that Liu Zhen's term of office expired, and he went to Han Xianxuan's mansion. He was deeply impressed by the spaciousness of the house and the luxurious decoration.

Han Xianxuan asked: Liu signed the judgment, what official position do you want?

Liu Zhen was surprised, he didn't expect Lord Han to be so direct. So he took out the things he brought: the small one brought a rare thing to the adults this time.

What rarity? Open it up and take a look.

Open the brocade box, and a bronze statue of Guanyin more than two feet high will appear in front of you.

Liu Zhen introduced: My lord, this is the bronze Guanyin station statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the shape is beautiful, the carving is exquisite, the majesty is dignified, and the preservation is complete. You see, there are faint inscriptions on the back of the statue, and the other handwriting is not clear, but these are very clear, and they are peaceful and wealthy. To you, Guanyin Dashi blesses your whole family with good luck and prosperity.

How did this come about?

To tell you the truth, I bought it, but it only cost two hundred taels of silver.

No, this thing will cost five or six hundred taels of silver in Lin'an.

My lord is right, I asked, it should be worth five hundred taels. However, at that time, it did only cost two hundred taels. Never lie to you.

Two years ago, when I went to Xiangshan County to run errands, I wore civilian clothes, went to the market to hang out, and saw an old man selling it, saying that his son was sick and needed money urgently. This time, I brought it just as a greeting gift.

Seeing that Han Xianxuan didn't speak, Liu Zhen explained:

My lord, I know that you still have to open up the joints for this matter, so this is just a welcome gift, and there are 10,000 taels of silver tickets here to thank you.

Okay, let me ask you, I don't want your money, and the official will be promoted as usual, but I want you to do something, okay?

As long as Lord Han looks up to Liu, the silver will be given and things will be done.

Oh, can you do anything? Is it okay to kill people and set fires?

Lord Han is so noble, he won't ask me to kill people and set fires, but in order to get angry, it's okay to beat him with a lame leg and a broken arm.

Han Xianxuan's face was happy, not bad. looked at Liu Zhen:

Tell you the truth, I took the bronze statue, and you can bring back the silver. The errand has also been thought of for you, go to Hunan and be the deputy envoy for transshipment. You're not satisfied.

When Liu Zhen heard this, the deputy envoy of the transfer, who was in charge of the transportation of money and grain, was a fat poor. Hurriedly nodded, satisfied, satisfied.

What you are asked to do is not a bad thing either, and it does not have any bad effect on you. I'll tell you what it is when you come down to the edict of your office.

Zhou Yunluan's son got married, and several close people got together again. Han Xianxuan asked Su Shicheng: Have you done that?

Su Shicheng is inexplicable, what's going on?

It's the surname Lou in Hunan, have you forgotten?

He is going to kill me, how can I forget? My plan has been implemented.

Oh, what's the implementation?

Su Shicheng recounted the situation.

After Lou Zhixin received the edict, he went to Hunan to take office, and the yamen in Tanzhou took up the dust one after another. From the Qingshui Yamen to the civil and military power of the states along the way, it is said that it is the same as the princes of one place, and soon it will be a little fluttering.

A few days later, the king of Tanzhou soldiers and horses came to visit. This time in Hunan, Lou Zhixin's wife Zhuang stayed in her hometown, and only her second wife, Ye Qiongzhi, accompanied her. It is a new arrival, and there are not many maids, so it is inevitable that it will be a little messy. He said,

Dashuai, you've had a hard time.

Lou Zhixin said: Eat rice and white noodles, chicken, duck and fish, wear silk and satin, live in pavilions and pavilions, and have carriages and sedan chairs, why bother?

Most people have what you said. But you are a commander all the way, a member of the three grades of the imperial court, and you are about to be crowned a marquis. There should be pomp and circumstance, and it should be enjoyable.

What is the pomp and circumstance? How to pay attention to enjoyment?

Now, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen have special entertainment teams in their families, including courtesans who sing songs, dancers who dance and play dramas, and storytellers; Some people are very good at enjoying it, having maids and servants when eating, writing poems with concubines studying ink and laying paper, and singing prostitutes when drinking. The predecessor Zhang Dashuai had six concubines, ten courtesans, and twenty maikos.

Obediently, so much. How much does it cost?

In addition to the three wives and four concubines, the fees for the servants and courtesans and dancers were of course paid by the yamen. In this way, Dashuai, in two days, I will choose two young and beautiful women to send them to serve Dashuai. You said that there are several beautiful women around you, and even if you don't do anything, it's comfortable to watch. Also, there is a music theater in the state, and some women who can sing and dance can be selected to come in.

You can do it, as long as it's not too much. Lou Zhixin's heart moved.

A few days later, Wang Dujian sent four beautiful women at once, all under the age of twenty. Before leaving, Wang Dujian said to Lou Zhixin: Handsome, if you like it, you will go up, and if you don't play for nothing, you won't play.

Han Xianxuan pointed at Su Shicheng: Your kid is bad enough, send four at once, enough for the surname Lou, and the family is not messy into a pot of porridge.

The surname Lou is less than fifty, and if it is well controlled, it can be enjoyed for a few years. Now, I sent Zhou Yuefen to the Song Music Theater again.

Is that the tall guy who sings so well?

Yes, this girl sleeps with others as long as she gives money, she is twenty-six or seventy, she has a bad reputation in Lin'an, and no one wants to marry anyone. I asked her to change her name, went to Tanzhou, and told her that as long as she was pregnant with the surname Lou, she was not afraid that he would not marry, and the matter would be done, and I would give her three thousand taels of silver.

This is a double insurance, enough for this old boy to drink a pot.

Let him enjoy the blessings first, and after half a year, there will be a good show to watch.

After being elected by the Ministry of Officials, Liu Zhen was reappointed as the deputy envoy of Jinghu South Road and made a special trip to Han Xianxuan to thank him. Ask about things to do.

Han Xianxuan looked relaxed: In fact, there is nothing special, that is, there is a buddy chatting with others: this buddy said, don't look at the person surnamed Lou when he was an official, he looked like a dog, impeached people for being greedy and wealthy, if he had the power and money, he would also be a corrupt official. The other said, not necessarily, he is a supervisor, he knows the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, knows what to do and what not to do, and does not know the law and break the law. In this way, the two men raised their poles and decided to bet five thousand taels of silver.

Liu Zhen said with a smile, the stakes are quite big.

My buddy is not convinced, and always thinks that people are not greedy for money, just like cats don't eat fish, I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it. No, just ask for it, I don't have any other acquaintances in Hunan, so I'll ask you, if you don't want to, just do it.

Liu Zhen was anxious: Don't, Master Han, it's a trivial matter, I'll take care of this matter. He appeased the division and himself to spend money, someone begged him to do something, as long as he was careful, he was not afraid that he would not be able to grasp the handle, there were no big ones, and there were small ones. It's really not good, I personally go out, I don't believe that he will be Bao Wenzheng, and he won't eat the fireworks of the world.

Well, with Lord Liu's words, I'm satisfied if I can't do it. If so, the surname Lou is really not greedy for money, which is also a good thing, let's find a Qing official for the Great Song Dynasty.

I don't think Lord Lou will be so incorruptible, Master Han, look at me, at least half a year, at most a year, I will definitely give you good news.

Okay, that's it. Han Xianxuan patted Liu Zhen and lowered his voice: You have done this, I want to transfer the horse transfer envoy away, and then give you a positive one.

Rest assured, I, Liu, will not forget your great kindness.
