"Did Kong Fu find it?" Deng Hua asked loudly at his entourage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Several attendants looked at each other and shook their heads, and Deng Hua continued: "Have you ever asked the wine shop opposite?" ”

An attendant replied: "I have already asked, and the shopkeeper said that Wang An came with Kong Fu last night, and they came in to drink in order to stare at the opposite side, and they went out when they saw an accident in Shunhua Pavilion, and never came back." ”

Deng Hua lives in Yuzhang County's county residence in Chang'an at the moment, and yesterday's banquet for Zhen Xin, the grandson of the Marquis of Boshan, was also to open up the joints, after all, Kong Guang had also been a prime minister before, because of the fact that he gave the emperor the empress dowager the title of honor, he was demoted to Guanglu doctor, but he was also ranked in Chang'an. Don't look at the Deng family's claim to live in the world for 2,000 stones, they are all local officials, and have never served as Beijing officials, and their status in Chang'an City may not be as good as Kong Fu. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and they fought with others for the sake of a singer surnamed Zhao, and as a result, the gold lord Kong Fu was also taken away by Wang An. Deng Hua is not worried about money, what he is worried about is that Kong Fu told Wang An who he had met, and this is the key. Some of his connections have since been exposed in front of Wang An. Mistake, mistake, Deng Hua regretted it in his heart.

"Lang Jun," one of the attendants shouted.

"What's the matter?" Deng Hua looked up and asked.

"Lang Jun has been looking for someone in the north of Chang'an for the past two days, what if Wang An is not living in the north, but in the south?" After all, there are many Qinglou Chu Pavilions in the area of Chuchengmen, and the cost is also a lot, and only Kong Fu, the unjust boss, is willing to spend money to accompany you to live nearby.

"Tell me your reasoning."

"There are many Qinglou Chu pavilions in the north of Chang'an, and the new capital Hou is very strict, so Wang An does not dare to settle here."

Deng Hua took out the map of Chang'an: "You continue to speak." ”

"From Nanyang to Chang'an, the nearest route is to take Hongnong County, and then go to Chang'an through Duling, and the area of Anmen is very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Weiyang Palace, and there are few green buildings nearby, which is suitable for Wang An and them to settle down."

"And there are a lot of them, just to charter a small inn, which is safe and saves money, which is very suitable for the tutor of the new capital."

Deng Hua nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's exactly what I want." You immediately go south to look for Kong Fu, especially the inns that have been chartered and the luxurious carriage with the emblem of the Marquis of Chengdu. Deng Hua took out a small golden reward for the entourage who gave the idea.

Wang An took the eldest girl, Shen Tuchen and Kong Xun to Yuan's mansion as guests, and the eldest girl could go to the backyard to talk to Miss Yuan as a female dependent, while Yuan's father personally entertained Wang An as the host, and Xu Lai accompanied him. After the two sides toasted each other, Yuan's father asked, "Since Lang Jun is the nephew of the Marquis of Chengdu, why didn't he tell the identity of the little girl?" ”

Wang An touched his nose: "The reputation of the Wang family is not good, and I am worried that there will be a misunderstanding, so I dare not say it clearly, and I hope to forgive my sins." "The main thing is that I am worried that Chengdu Hou will covet beauty, do bad things, and force people to marry daughters.

Father Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man was able to come out this time thanks to the help of Chengdu Hou. ”

Wang An didn't dwell on this matter, he turned to Xu Lai: "Miss Yuan said that something happened in Nanjun, and I want to know where it is in Nanjun?" ”

"Dangyang," Xu Lai replied.

"People in business should have their relationships in place, why did they rob you?"

"Dangyang people said that the new county lord will take office next year, and it is said that someone once looked for someone among the bandits to teach him a lesson, but he was killed instead, so the bandits in Dangyang wanted to avoid the limelight, so they robbed money and food. And salt is also indispensable. ”

"Don't you care about the current Dangyang Chief?"

"The current Dangyang chief only wants to leave safely, where do you dare to care."

"What about the people?"

"Anyway, the ones who were robbed were passing caravans, and it didn't have much impact on the locals."

Wang An didn't ask any more questions, the two sides just drank and danced, and the guests and hosts returned happy.

After Wang An left, Yuan's father asked his daughter: "Why did your uncle ask about Dangyang?" ”

"If there is no accident, he will be the head of the sun next year."

"Really?"

"My daughter has already understood, and Nanjun Taishou recommended him as the head of the Yang."

"Nanjun Taishou Xiao Yu can completely recruit this person as a thief Cao Peng, and then let him be the head of Dangyang, anyway, the Xiao family is related to the Wang family, and others will not say anything, why let the uncle and grandson come to the capital. Could it be that Xiao Yuren is old and confused? ”

"Maybe there's something else going on?"

"The affairs of the court are not something that our small people can figure out, this son is from the Wang family, and being the head of Yang is just a stepping stone for him, plus the help of the Wang family, Nanjun Taishou is not far away. The Wang family is full of nobles, not from people like us, Qi Da is not a coincidence. ”

"The father and the daughter understand."

Yuan's father said: "Daughter, what do you think of Shen Tuchen? ”

On the way back, Wang An said to Shen Tuchen: "Zikuan, what do you think of the daughter of the Yuan family?" Father Yuan is looking at you at the table. ”

"Don't tarnish people's reputation." Shen Tuchen beat his horse and ran forward.

Wang An caught up: "What if Father Yuan is interested?" ”

"This matter still needs my father's consent."

When Wang An returned to the inn, Kong Fu was standing in front of Shi Duan and was reporting: "Thirty chickens, ducks and geese, one hundred catties of pork, fifty catties of mutton, and one hundred catties of dried bamboo shoots...... A total of 2,867 wen was spent. Shi Duan nodded: "Today is good, here today, get up early tomorrow to clean up the inn." ”

Shi Duan took out two knives and threw them to Wang An: "I see that Lang Jun has been running outside during the day these days, and he will sleep when he comes back at night, so it's time to take the knife." Rest assured, this knife is not sharp. ”

Wang An gestured, and Shi Duan asked, "Who taught this?" ”

"Mr. Cui."

"At first glance, you can tell that you have been a ranger, and you can't use it." Shi Duan raised his knife and slashed continuously, and Wang An raised his knife to parry. Wang An only parried four times, and the knife was knocked away, and Shi Duan's knife was put on Wang An's neck: "Does Lang Jun feel that he didn't show it all?" Wang An nodded, and Shi Duan put the knife away: "How can I have time to show your martial arts on the battlefield." The front is the enemy, the left and right are their own people, the back is their own people, tens of thousands of people are crowded together, where is there a place for you to dodge and move, the strength will be used up, you can only use the fastest speed to kill the enemy, kill a way. Ranger's martial arts are just for good looks, not to save lives. "Take out two bowls of wine, hand one to Wang An, and Wang An drank it all;" Tomorrow to continue. ”

The next day, Wang An got up and learned that someone had accused the king of Dongping of plotting rebellion, and Shi Duan was what they should do, in Shi Duan's words, "What does the king of Dongping have to do with their little people, wait for the king of Dongping to call." ”

Then Chengdu Hou sent someone early in the morning to invite Wang An to go to Lin Yuan to see Juju: "Today is your eighth uncle's team and Dong Xian's team against each other, and I will take you to see the emperor's goodwill." ”
