Binglan helped Hou Guoxing to move towards the palace behind the wall, and the footsteps outside the wall were getting closer and closer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just when Hou Guoxing was desperate, a middle-aged man with a white face and no need to wear a eunuch uniform hurried over with two little eunuchs.

Looking at Hou Guoxing, who was supported by Binglan, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's finally timely, you're fine." After speaking, without waiting for Hou Guoxing to speak, he glanced at the two eunuchs on the side, and the two eunuchs walked over to help Binglan support Hou Guoxing, and walked quickly to the hidden place of the palace.

The middle-aged man walked over the wall and onto the street beyond the wall.

At this time, I only heard the middle-aged man speak:

"This general, our family is the prince's companion Wang An, today I accompanied the prince to visit the emperor, passing by here, seeing the chaos here, but what happened?"

"Oh, it turned out to be the prince, who was humble and polite. When he was not called a father-in-law general, he was chasing the assassins who had fled from the palace, and he happened to be searching here, and he looked at where his father-in-law had just passed by, and he didn't know if he could find any suspicious characters. The hundred households leading outside the wall saluted Wang An and asked

"Suspicious characters? I didn't pay attention to this, but our family traveled all the way from the back palace, and it was very safe. ”

"Oh, since that's the case, then I'll take my leave first, and I'll have time to invite my father-in-law to drink another day, and I hope that my father-in-law won't postpone when he arrives." The leader of the hundred households said to Wang An

Wang An said with a smile on his face:

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's important for the general to be busy with business first, and when you have time, you must have a few drinks with the general."

After sending away the group of soldiers, Wang An wiped the cold sweat on his head, looked around, and turned around to catch up with Hou Guoxing and the others.

The group escorted Hou Guoxing and walked quickly to the carriage where Wang An had already arranged for Hou Guoxing's escape.

Looking at the carriage in front of him, Hou Guoxing was finally sure that he could escape from the palace, and said gratefully to Wang An in front of him:

"Guoxing thanked his father-in-law for saving his life, if it weren't for his father-in-law this time, Guoxing might have died in this palace."

"Hou Gongzi and our family are polite, you have escaped death several times for the sake of the prince, which makes our family admire. This time, Hou Gongzi asked Li Changshi to be arrested in the palace, and the prince was also anxious and was trying to rescue you. No, as soon as I got the news from the fifth princess, the prince asked our family to rush over, but fortunately it came in time, and the prince was safe and sound, otherwise our family really didn't know how to explain to the prince and Mrs. Ke. Hou Gongzi, let's get into the carriage first and leave this place as soon as possible. After Wang An finished speaking, he pulled Hou Guoxing to the carriage.

Just as Hou Guoxing was about to enter the carriage with Wang An, Binglan behind him hesitated for a moment, took out a peace charm tied with a red thread from his neck, held it in the palm of his hand, gently pulled the corner of Hou Guoxing's clothes, lowered his head and said:

"Wait, Hou Gongzi, thank you for saving me this time, this peace charm was asked for in the temple with the princess last time, just... It was sent to Hou Gongzi and blessed Hou Gongzi with a safe life. After speaking, he didn't wait for Hou Guoxing to react, stuffed it in Hou Guoxing's hand, and ran away.

Hou Guoxing took the peace charm with body temperature, looked at Binglan who ran away with her head down, and thought to herself, could it be that the aura of the pig's feet really exploded, and he was fascinated by this little Lori all of a sudden? It's just that why isn't it the five princesses who are alluring the country and the city? Just when Hou Guoxing began to narcissist, Wang An behind him opened his mouth and smiled:

"What a man who is not a romantic boy! I see that this little girl next to the fifth princess has fascinated your demeanor. ”

Hearing Wang An's ridicule, the thick-skinned Hou Guoxing actually had a hint of blush on his face and said:

"Father-in-law, this Binglan is just grateful to me for saving her life, sending a peace charm, and chatting to express gratitude."

Ha ha! Wang An burst into laughter and helped the injured Hou Guoxing to the carriage.

Soon, under Wang An's dredging, the carriage drove out of the north gate of the palace safely, and Wang An instructed the coachman to send Hou Guoxing to the Hou Mansion before returning to the palace himself.

Not far from the north gate of the imperial city, a market has naturally formed, very lively, clothes and hats, fan tents, bonsai flowers, fresh fish, pigs and sheep, pastries and preserves, seasonal fruits, everything.

Hou Guoxing sat in the carriage, looking at the endless flow of people in the market, although he was injured, he also felt very excited, this was the first time he went shopping in Daming.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed.

Isn't that Wang Wenyan? What is he doing outside this imperial city? Wasn't the man opposite him the eunuch who stole medicinal herbs from the palace? This guy seems to have given the eunuch a bag of silver just now? Could it be that Wang Wenyan is so mixed that he needs to collude with eunuchs and steal the medicinal materials in the palace to live together? But think about this guy who has stolen the county government's silver before, it's not impossible to do this kind of thing now.

Brother Wang, why are you here? Hou Guoxing made the coachman turn his horse's head around and stopped beside Wang Wenyan and the eunuch.

Wang Wenyan was whispering something to the little eunuch, when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling his name, and turned back in fright. The eunuch behind him was also so frightened when he saw Hou Guoxing that his face was bloodless.

Wait less... Brother Hou, why are you here? Did you know that people can be scared to death... Wang Wenyan hurriedly adjusted his frightened state and said lukewarmly.

Hey, I said Brother Wang, the two of us have lived and died together, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my little brother misses you very much, so I came to say hello to you. You don't seem to welcome your little brother? Hou Guoxing didn't notice the frightened look Wang Wenyan showed when he turned around, and said with a smile.

Oh, that's the brother of Laohou, brother I just have something to do now, and I have time to drink with my brother another day. Wang Wenyan talked about the eviction order.

Looking at Wang Wenyan's lukewarm appearance, Hou Guoxing also felt bored, and arched his hand in the carriage and said: In this case, the little brother will go first, by the way, if you have anything to do, Brother Wang, you can go to the Hou Mansion to find the little brother, and you can't hook up with this eunuch who stole the medicinal materials of the palace for a few silver. After saying that, let the coachman drive the carriage away.

After Hou Guoxing left, Wang Wenyan said in a deep voice to the eunuch: What the hell is going on, how does he know you?

The eunuch hurriedly explained the cause and effect of his encounter with Hou Guoxing.

Wang Wenyan quietly looked at the direction of Hou Guoxing's departure, and for a moment, waved his hand at the eunuch, turned around and left the city gate.

After a short time, Wang Wenyan drove the carriage into a remote courtyard.

"Master, Mr. Wang has arrived, the housekeeper took Wang Wenyan into the study in the backyard, and after returning to the old man in white who had been waiting in the study for a long time, he turned around and closed the door.

My lord, the students have already bought off the eunuchs in the palace and sent the medicinal herbs to the Tai Hospital. After the housekeeper left, Wang Wenyan bowed respectfully to the old man in white and said.

Well, that's good! If this matter is really as you planned, the old man will protect your official status. The old man in white got up and patted Wang Wenyan with a smile.

The students thanked the adults. Wang Wenyan was ecstatic when he heard the promise of the old man in white, he came to this capital just to get ahead, and now he has finally taken the first step. It was in vain that he rescued Hou Guoxing through hardships, and was recommended by Wang An to be a staff member of this adult.

The old man in white looked at the joyful Wang Wenyan and shook his head with a smile, and after a while, he said to himself:

I really can't imagine that the emperor still has the style of Gou Jian, he really underestimated him before, and first promised to abolish the mining tax to stabilize us, pay military salaries in the inner treasury silver, buy the hearts of the army, and directly interfere in the power of the cabinet. If it goes on for a long time, when he grasps the power in his hands, will he wait for me to fight the case next time? What happened to my generation during the Wanli Emperor period, the old man will never allow it to be repeated.

The adults are wise, and they want to help Wanli Ye move to Zhang Juzheng and abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes he formulated, and the credit made by my generation is not small, why is it still difficult to move forward in the court later? To put it bluntly, it's not that the emperor will decide life and death, if he meets Mingjun, it's okay, if he meets Wanli Ye? Today, the adults support Emperor Taichang's ascension to the throne from the attack of the dragon, but I am afraid that it is also a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Wang Wenyan echoed.

The old man in white nodded and said:

"You're right, the Son of Heaven should be made by hanging the arch! With gentlemen, far rebel ministers, as long as the court is all these righteous gentlemen such as us, they can naturally work hard, abolish harsh taxes and hide wealth for the people, and naturally can realize the prosperity that the sage said. ”

For the sake of the common people in the world, adults are willing to gamble on the reputation of a lifetime, and students are not talented, and they are willing to drive forward for adults and horses, and fight for the prosperity in the mouth of the saints. Wang Wenyan seized the opportunity to show his loyalty.

The old man in white was very satisfied with Wang Wenyan's cleverness and ability to do things, and said:

Well, very well, it is not in vain that the old man values you and entrusts you with such an important matter. Another day, the old man will introduce all the ministers of my generation in the court to you one by one. From now on, you will be counted among my generation.

The students thanked the adults. Wang Wenyan fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily to the old man.

Late at night, Li Kezhuo's home in Honglu Temple.....

"Master Li, you should understand all these things in the account books, right?" Wang Wenyan, who was dressed in black, said talkatively.

Li Kezhuo looked at the sneering Wang Wenyan, his body kept trembling and he couldn't speak!

"Lord Li, privately opened a silver mine and embezzled 10,000 acres of fertile land, causing hundreds of good people to be homeless, so they could only gather people to rebel and send ordnance, grain and grass to the outside of the customs. Wang Wenyan's eyes looked directly at Li Kezhuo and roared.

"Mister"

Li Kezhuo got up and bowed to the end, and begged in a trembling voice:

"The lower officials don't know who assigned Mr., but the officialdom is competing, and everyone adheres to the principle that the wives and children will not be defeated, and the victory will not kill the defeated soldiers, and I hope that Mr. will teach me how to do it?"

You come over with your ears, Wang Wenyan whispered in Li Kezhuo's ear.

"Ahh This... This..."

Li Kezhuo collapsed directly to the ground!

"No, how dare the lower officials do this..... Why is the gentleman so pressing? ”

Ha... Ha... Ha...

Wang Wenyan laughed!

"Adults have been in officialdom for many years, when they know the priority of things, since we can find out these things, the energy behind them should also be clear to adults, since the students today have explained this matter to adults, adults have to do it, and they have to do it if they don't do it. Students can promise adults here, if the adults do so, the incident will be borne by at most one adult, and the adult's wife and children will be safe and sound, if the matter is done properly, you can even let the adult take his wife and children, away from the officialdom to be a rich man for a lifetime, all he says, the student will come to visit another day! Forget to think carefully! ”

Walking outside, Wang Wenyan looked up at the white moon in the sky and muttered to himself:

If it is successful at this time, who in this world dares to underestimate me Wang Wenyan.
