Chapter 35 The Talent of Guan Zhong
"King Qiyu, the black monkey and their gang were all killed, and their heads were hung in Shangluo County for public display. The goods www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion were also confiscated by the government. ”
Hearing this, the chieftain, who was having fun with his men, smashed the wine lord to the ground, and the room immediately became silent, and the leader stood up and walked back and forth a few times, and said loudly: "Who did it?" Is it surnamed Yuan? ”
"It's not surnamed Yuan, it is said that the black monkeys wanted to rob the passing soldiers, and they were killed."
When the leader heard this, he became even more angry, and walked down the steps and kicked the messenger a few times: "You are the king of this king's amusement." A single soldier can kill the Black Monkey and their gang. Didn't this king say that there was no such thing as no? ”
When the leader stopped talking, the messenger continued: "That soldier is not alone, there are many guards around him, and he is equipped with a strong crossbow. ”
"A strong crossbow?" The leader was taken aback, "Is this conclusive?" ”
The messenger nodded.
"Did you find the name of the gentleman?"
The messenger shook his head.
The leader kicked the other party a few more times: "Why don't you go and check it out, this king has received fifty gold cakes from others and wants the girl surnamed Yuan to die well, do you want this king to spit out the gold cakes that he ate in his mouth again?" Find this person and give the other party an explanation. ”
Someone gave the leader an idea: "Why don't you send someone to the inn along the way to check on the appearance and condition of this gentleman?" In the future, this person will pass by this place again, and it will be good to entertain the other party. ”
The leader couldn't help nodding when he heard this: "Not only this scholar, but we also have to pay attention to Yuan girl, it is best to send someone to Chang'an to keep an eye on the girl surnamed Yuan, maybe you can touch the melon along the vine." Well, I'll leave that to you. ”
"No".
Wang An had already passed Du Ling at this moment and planned to enter Chang'an from Anmen, because this gate was the closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there were many cars, horses and people between Chang'an and Du Ling, and according to the rules of the imperial court, they needed to keep giving way to officials. I couldn't walk much in an hour, and then Shen Tuchen said: "Let's go to the pavilion in front to rest and eat something by the way, there are too many officials in Chang'an." The crowd agreed.
Wei Xuan and the others went to see the environment first, Wang An then went over, and the eldest girl also got out of the carriage, looked around, and said: "Walk more than ten miles is Taixue, after Taixue is Anmen, along Anmen to Shangguanli is the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lang Jun needs to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to exchange documents." ”
Wang An said: "If you have enough time, eat something first, then find a place to stay, and then report tomorrow." The guards spread out a large cloth and laid food and drink, and each man took a cushion and sat down to eat.
"I heard this Lang Jun say just now that you want to find a place to stay?" A voice came. Only then did Wang An notice that the guards had blocked a person.
Wei Xuan got up and replied, "What do you have to do with it?" ”
The man saluted and said, "In the next and his companions partnered to open an inn, located near Anmen, many rooms, good environment, even if so many of you live, we also provide two meals a day, if you are willing to do it yourself, we can also provide a kitchen." ”
Wei Xuan shook his head and walked back.
The man cried out, "If you don't want to stay, I'll show you the way." I am very familiar with Chang'an. ”
In the Han Dynasty, there was a belt service? Wang An became interested and motioned for Wei Xuan to let people go. When the man approached, Wang An noticed that the person only had his right hand left. Seeing Wang An looking at his hands, the man smiled: "I was cut off by the enemy during the battle." The eldest girl handed him a flatbread, and the man carefully rolled it up and put it away, and explained to Wang An: "Take it back and give it to the baby to eat." ”
After the man sat down, he handed the sign proving his identity to Wang An, this person's surname is Shi Mingduan, Wang An noticed that the sign indicated that this person's father was a businessman, no wonder he could pull down his face to open an inn. Wang An returned the sign to Shi Duan and asked, "There is a family surnamed Yuan near Anmen, the Yuan family sells salt, and something happened at home recently." ”
Shi Duan thought for a while and said, "There are several families surnamed Yuan near Anmen, and according to what Lang Jun said, there is one family. Some time ago, their family offended a nobleman, and his father was arrested, but he was released a few days ago. ”
"He offended the nobles? But the Wang family? ”
"The Wang family? No", Shi Duan shook his head in denial, and explained with a smile: "The Wang family has been honest in recent years, and there is no arrogance and arrogance of the first emperor, after all, the Wang family is not what it used to be. It seems to be surnamed Zhen. ”
It's good if it's not the Wang family, Wang An changed the question: "Do you know the mansion of Hou Chen Tang Chen Zigong in Guannei?" ”
The man nodded: "I know, it's just that Mr. Zigong is not in good health, and I'm afraid I won't see any guests." ”
Wang An looked at Shen Tuchen: "The imperial doctor ordered Mr. Shen Tu's mansion to know?" ”
"Mr. Shentu lives in Shangguanli and never sees guests at home."
"What about the Yellow Gate Squire Yang Ziyun?"
The man replied: "Mr. Yang lives near Xi'anmen, not far from Anmen. ”
Wang An nodded, he didn't know anyway, he could only believe what others said, Wang An agreed to send someone to take a look first. The man was overjoyed, beckoned a companion, and led Wang An's people to the inn. Wang An looked at the other party's arm and said, "Where is the general?" Shi Duan said: "How dare you call yourself a general, you are just a tun commander below." ”
"Why did the gentleman come up with the idea of opening an inn? This is the business of a businessman, and after joining the army, he can become a common man. ”
Shi Duan smiled bitterly: "These people under him have no other skills except to fight, and when the rewards of the court are spent, they can only be left behind." I couldn't bear it, so I gathered the retired soldiers and opened this inn, which was originally intended to be a business for students, but unfortunately the court doesn't pay attention to Taixue now, so there are few students. The inn didn't make much money, so it could only attract outsiders. ”
This Shi Duan is very smart, isn't it the hottest restaurant and accommodation near the university in the future? This is a talent. Wang An said: "Mr. can be compared with the pipe. ”
Shi Duan waved his hand again and again: "How dare you compare it with the pipe?" ”
"Guan Zhong also served as a soldier, went through business, and had friends to help him, and became the prime minister of Qi country. Now that he has been a soldier and is in business, it is not known what the future holds. ”
At this time, the person sent came back, he first saluted Wei Xuan, and then reported the situation to Wang An, there were not many customers in the inn, there were enough rooms, and there were stables, and everything was fine except for the simple. Wang An decided that this was the case.
On the way, Wang An asked Shi Duan why he came out to solicit passengers? His son and daughter are young, and his subordinates have a bad temper, and they will do it if they don't agree with each other, Shi Duan is really not at ease, so he can only come out to solicit customers by himself. When passing by a house, Shi Duan told Wang An that it was Taixue. Wang An looked at it and thought it was very good, now that the court doesn't pay attention to it, he will have a chance in the future.
