After the head of the Qin family left, Tian Dalang, who had been silent beside him, opened his mouth and asked, "Will there be an accident between Shopkeeper Du and Lvlin Mountain?" ”

"I thought you were going to keep silent," Wang An teased Tian Dalang, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, if Taishou wanted to arrest these people in Ruoxian, he would have done it a long time ago." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI believe that these wealthy families in Ruoxian should negotiate the conditions with Taishou. It's just that these people in Ruoxian County are now frightened birds, and they want to find someone to test Taishou. ”

"Why wouldn't Taishou pursue this matter?"

Wang An pushed the map in front of Tian Dalang and nodded: "Lulin Mountain is located at the junction of the three counties, if you want to solve it, you need Nan County, Nanyang County and Jiangxia County to work together, which is only possible if Jingzhou herds horses." Moreover, Lulin Mountain is far away from Jiangling, and Shui Kou is operating near Jiangling, threatening the interests of the wealthy clans in Gangneung, and the power of the wealthy clans in Gangneung is not comparable to those of Ruoxian and Dangyang, and Taishou can only sit in this position with the support of the wealthy clans of Gangneung. At present, the Green Forest Bandit is a disease of ringworm and scabies for Taishou, and the Shui Kou is a problem for his henchmen. ”

"What's more, it costs money to suppress bandits, and in order to deal with the water bandits, Nanjun already feels powerless. If there is a green forest bandit, from Xiangyang to Ruoxian, it is just in the name of guarding against the green forest bandits, and it is justified to reduce the taxes paid to the Taishou Mansion. Those taxes are not to be added to the first line of the river, especially Jiangling, how can those Jiangling tycoons suffer losses? The two sides will definitely fight endlessly over this, and if they are too guarded, they will be busy with the mud, so how can they take care of suppressing bandits? ”

Tian Dalang didn't understand it or not, and nodded: "What about the predecessor Xiao Taishou?" The people of Gangneung City said that after Xiao Taishou arrived, the bandits were pacified. ”

Tian Dalang is willing to learn, and Wang An also wants to show off: "Xiao Yu is over the age of old, and he is alone, can he still personally lead the troops into battle?" It's not just what the people below say is what it is. The officials below said that the bandits had been exterminated, could Xiao Yu personally examine the corpse? Xiao Taishou also knew that the officials below were deceiving themselves, and Xiao Taishou's biggest reliance was the name of the Xiao family in Lanling, as well as the relatives and friends of the Xiao family, and the disciples and grandchildren. After all, there are as many as six or seven officials in the Xiao family who occupy the position of 2,000 stones, and it is still possible to give some punishment to those officials who cheat. This led to the dissatisfaction of the wealthy clan in Jiangling, and Xiao Taishou was dismissed from office on the grounds of illness."

"Why doesn't my father eat at home, but why does he have to come to this restaurant to eat?" Chu Yuan accompanied the head of the Chu family to sit on the second floor of a wine shop, with a few stir-fried dishes on the table.

"The three heads of the Chang family, the Ou family and the Li family have come to the door every day these days, and they are not very disturbed by their father, and they heard that this wine shop is good, so they came here to be quiet and quiet." The head of the Chu family picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of bacon in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it before saying: "This bacon is good, and the fishy taste is much lighter, but it's a pity that my father is old and can't chew it." ”

Chu Yuan got up and put Dongpo meat in front of his father: "This is the signature dish of this store, Dongpo meat, fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and invites my father to try this dish." The child and his classmates also dined here a few days ago, and it is said that these pigs have been castrated, so the fishy smell has faded a lot. ”

The head of the Chu family picked up a piece of Dongpo meat and took a bite, tasted it, and nodded incessantly: "I didn't expect pork to do this." Soon, three or four pieces of Dongpo meat entered the stomach of the head of the Chu family.

The head of the Chu family put down his chopsticks: "Is this shop opened by the Wang family?" ”

"It was opened by Mr. Wei."

"Which old Mr. Wei?" The head of the Chu family thought about it, and didn't remember that there was such a person in Dangyang County who was good at cooking.

"It's Mr. Wei who opened a medical hall opposite, the three of them are all surnamed Wei, and the old gentleman is second," Chu Yuan pointed out the window, "This person was recalled by the county from Lankouju to see a doctor for Sun Xiaoniang's maid, and when he was idle, he opened the opposite medical hall and this restaurant." ”

"It's not the Wang family's kid's livelihood, the Wang family's kid is a good hand at making money, but it's a pity." The head of the Chu family sighed, and the words changed, "Has the situation of Sun Xiaoniang and her injured maid been clarified?" ”

Chu Yuan said in a low voice: "The child sent someone to bring the portrait of Sun Xiaoniang to Jiangling, but the people in the Yuechu Pavilion have not seen Sun Xiaoniang, and the county government is guarded by people brought by the county from Wangjiazhuang, and the guards are very strict, and outsiders can't enter." The child once bribed someone to inquire about her appearance, but was immediately arrested by Sun Xiaoniang and imprisoned in the name of plotting misdeeds, ready to join the army. ”

"The moon is out of the museum, this is the industry of Jiang Bei's driver's family. How did you get involved with it? ”

"Father doesn't know," Chu Yuan looked around: "When the county zun went to Jiangling, he went to the Yuechu Museum, and happened to meet the thief who made trouble in the Yuechu Pavilion that night, and someone rescued an injured woman, and the Jiang family lost face. Our people have identified the injured woman who broke her leg when she jumped off the building at the Moon Exit Pavilion. ”

The head of the Chu family was very satisfied: "What about the Wang family boy? ”

"Because the Taishou Mansion did not arrange a post for Wang An, Wang An was looking for another inn to stay in. The innkeeper said that Wang An had no female dependents when he checked in, and when he came back from the moon out of the museum, he brought a maid with him, and told the guy that he was sent by his wife. When the boy received the letter, he asked the messenger guarding the south gate, and they said that the lady had not sent anyone out of the city that day. ”

Chu Yuan got up, looked outside the door, closed the door and whispered. "There is another thing, the person who inspected the inn on the night of the accident was Feng Sima."

The head of the Chu family asked, "Is this Feng Sima who is now in Dangyang?" Chu Yuan nodded. The head of the Chu family was bright-eyed, when Feng Sima came, Wang An led everyone to the military camp to reward, but the two pretended to meet for the first time, there must be something wrong here.

The head of the Chu family asked again: "The thieves captured and mobilized people to search Jiangling City, did they get the permission of the Taishou?" ”

"I stayed outside the city that night and didn't return to the city."

"No wonder, no wonder," the head of the Chu family patted the table, "so it seems that Wang An and Taishou have formed an alliance. With the support of Taishou and the secret help of the Wang family, Wang An's official position as the head of the yang can be kept. ”

Chu Yuan felt strange: "Wang An and Taishou have formed an alliance? Where does this start? ”

The head of the Chu family explained to his son: "Why was the person who complained about Yang arrested, and Wang An was indifferent to such a good opportunity to earn fame? Why did Chang and Li Hequ go to Jiangling to complain, and Jiang Beijia came forward in person? Why can't you come forward? ”

Chu Yuan immediately understood that Beijia was the second person in Nanjun, but according to the system of the imperial court, Taishou could not be a local, and those who served as Beijia were among the top famous families in the county. Compared with other drivers, these people in Dangyang are like the Wang family and the Jiang family of the Nine Marquis, the gap is too big. A subordinate official of Don't Drive can send these people from the Chang family, but Beijia personally went out to give a reply, obviously not aimed at Wang An but Taishou. The person who complained was arrested, Wang An did not write a letter to intercede, as long as he did not open his mouth, he would be released immediately, Wang An wrote a letter, these people were afraid that they would be in prison for the New Year.

"Don't drive, will you make trouble with Wang An?"

"Jiang Beijia is a cautious person, and he will not offend the Wang family for a Qinglou woman, anyway, as long as this person is still in the position of another driver, no one will dare to attack the Jiang family." The head of the Chu family picked up a piece of Dongpo meat, "But the nephew Jiang Tunchang, who is not driving, is a martial artist, with a hot temper and likes to hunt, and the head of the Chang family is also good at this, so that the two of them can get to know each other." With that, he put the meat in his mouth and chewed it.
